Artist Statement
Cloth has a memory like the body. I create fabric installation that explore the precarity of the postpartum body. Residue of physical and emotional trauma are captured on the surface of the floating maternal forms. Color from foraged plants and “saddened” with iron and calcium, records the depletion of energy and essential nutrients used to grow new life.
Emily Zarse is an installation artist working with the language of natural dyes and fiber processes to explore the maternal body and matrescence. She received a degree in Costume and Textile History from Cornell University and is currently a MFA candidate at Indiana University.

Artist Statement
My feminist, interdisciplinary art practice considers the interplay between subject and object and the liminal nature of our bodies. I create objects and spaces that may allow the viewer to re-experience and recall moments of transformation from childhood. I am interested in the boundaries of our bodies and how we are in relationship to our domestic spaces and to each other. I am interested in the pregnant/nursing/mothering body and how it holds and cares for other bodies and how our bodies change, age and need repair.

Artist Statement
<span> I use distorted and erratic renditions of drawing and fiber techniques such as crocheting, weaving, and wrapping to build sculptural installations varying in size. My process begins when I encounter fabrics that are sourced from family and friends. The tactile experience of touching the fabrics can lead to an intimate, thoughtful meditation when I ponder the history of a garment. Who wore or used this? Where were they going or what were they doing when they used it? I may cut the fabric into long continuous thread, draw onto it, or sew it into a wearable sculpture. Dense forms and linear elements take shape as I let the qualities of the materials guide me. The improvisational aspect of my practice allows unpredictability to prosper.</span><br /><br /><span>Inspired by my own experience of entering motherhood, I want to show the power of the mother’s body and how she influences the infant physically as well as emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Sometimes my work takes shape as figurative drawings of the nursing relationship I have with my daughter. I incorporate repetitive text into the drawings that speak to the ever-changing mental space of becoming a mother—the anxiety and worry, the joy and gratitude. Other times my work becomes sculptural, utilizing the curvealinear forms found in nature and women’s bodies. Looking at nature’s processes of decay, entropy, rupture, and unraveling, I find an ever-increasing affinity to my body. Becoming a mother has begun to transform the art I make as I see the kinship to nature more clearly. I want viewers to reconnect with their own vulnerability as well as their strength, as motherhood has required I do so in a more profound way. Within this state of vulnerability and power, I believe we can access the sensitivity that will facilitate our collective empathy.</span>
