Eclipsed Presence has evolved from a residency that the artist recently undertook in Morocco. During her time there, she was inspired by the Amazigh people and their unwavering commitment to handmade crafts. They continue to spin, dye wool and knit sweaters by hand, not merely as a nostalgic gesture, but as a living tradition that embodies their cultural identity and resilience. Their approach challenges us to reconsider the worth of the handmade in a world increasingly dominated by the digital and the disposable.
This new video installation explores these themes, bridging the gap between what has been lost and what can be reclaimed, illuminating the enduring relevance of traditional crafts in a contemporary context.
