About This Item
Rochester Hills, MI: Erin K. Schmidt, 2016. Schmidt, Erin K.. Octavo. One of four copies, signed by the artist. A sculptural project, crafted as a crocheted baby blanket, unfinished, never used. Text printed on pink ribbion, tied in succession to divide the blanket into thirds and wrap it into an enclosure, describes the joy of pregnancy and the despair of miscarriage. At the innermost section, "swaddled" are the products of conception, crocheted in red yarn, and a small silk book, at the cover of which is a reproduction of an abnormal ultrasound and within which are texts from pathology reports. The project, both devastatingly emotional and grievously emotionless, haptically evokes the lived experience of medical trauma. Fine.
