BASE OF THE STAIRS
at
Central Library
Brooklyn, New York
October 4 – November 4, 2024
What threads of collaborative remedy are possible amidst the fabric’s unravelings?
It’s been four years
Since The Console
And
This October
We’re back on
The streets of Brooklyn
On:
The Mend.
From October 4 to November 4
A month-long stitch
At the base of the stairs of
Central Library
Grand Army Plaza.
I’ll be there to repair
Your holy tatters
And busted seams
Your plaids
And gaberdines.
The only problem is:
I don’t know a bobbin winder
From a feed dog.
I have no idea (yet)
How to bind a bias
Or patch a tear
But I will try
To fix any garment you bring by.
Please join me
Raw edges and all
For a dart
Or a tack
And maybe together
We can help the Singer sing
In the face of great uncertainty…
