Part of a collaboration with Stone Quarry Art Park, After Flowers takes inspiration from a Jacquard woven coverlet, produced in 1838 by the incarcerated weavers at Auburn State Prison. Under what became known as the “Auburn System,” inmates alternated between periods of silent labor and solitary confinement, forced to manufacture a wide variety of products, including shoes, home goods, and raw silk. It is a distinctly American object woven in a city known both for its role in the movement to abolish slavery, and its perpetuation of slavery in its contemporary iteration – the prison industrial complex.
