Migration Patterns
Natasha KorzeniewskiMigration Patterns explores the global movement of human beings. With the ongoing struggles and displacement of people around the world, immigrants resiliently overcome hardship to escape wars, social injustices and humanitarian crises. Drawing inspiration from my own story of immigration, this series reflects on the universal struggles that come with being an immigrant. My work addresses the experiences of immigrants through the use of textiles as a means of expression. These panels are created by using fabric and thread, as a way to layer and interweave narratives of mass movement, pain, loss and separation. The use of stitched patterns and repeated mark making parallel the repetition of migration patterns of human beings that is also found in nature.
