Textiles have a lot to reveal to us. When I was a teenager, I bought a jean jacket from a thrift store. I bleached it, embroidered on it, and sewed on patches, all in an attempt to make something that was truly my own. Each stitch felt like I was imbuing the jacket with power – the power of creative expression, self-actualization, and most of all, care. I don\u2019t wear it anymore, but I\u2019ll probably keep it forever because my teenage self and her budding identity as a queer woman live in the warp and weft of that garment. At the same time, I know that the jacket lived a life long before it got to me, and the memories of its makers, sellers, and wearers all live alongside mine. This is only one of many textile objects that have had a profound impact on my life. If I have them, I know others must too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
