skin suits (skin quilts) In exposing the misalignments between the machine gaze and the human gaze, craft is engaged as a lens specifically sensitive to materiality. Unwrapped skins are reanimated through the enmeshment of skin quilt and flesh body.

soft grounds (cartographic quilts)   In Appalachia, where Breanna grew up, the landscape is endlessly worked by technologies of extraction. Left behind is a scarred, soft ground. Physical information from that ground can be exposed at many scales by manipulating surveying and imaging technologies. By understanding of bits as matter and landscapes as information, the resulting cartographies are defined, woven, and re-inserted.
