an H not an 11

An H, not an 11 is an installation with oil painting and a richly detailed textile wall hanging that combines digital collage, quilting and embroidery. The artist Olivia Chin is interested in the negotiations between chronic illness and rest, documenting how deep listening can draw connections between seemingly unrelated parallel experiences.
The soft textile nature of an H, not an 11 plays with the dynamic of rest and maintenance. What roles do objects, crafts and art play in turning away from productivity and towards rest? How do histories become embedded in these objects and images?
Capturing observed moments, her works hold things against time while moving towards being forgotten.
