LEAVING US IN STITCHES:
8030 DAYS OF DIVINE
Leaving Us in Stitches: 8030 Days of Divine is the title given to a textile I created. The piece is a 3’ by 4’ embroidered silk organza, with a paper background. It can be installed on a wall space using archival adhesive backing, for safe removal from walls and the piece itself. It requires a wall space that will fit its size.
Women’s Work
Women’s Work is a photographic series that focuses on the hands of local women and non-binary femme skilled trade workers in Toronto, Ontario. Throughout this paper, the term women will refer to any self-identifying women including trans women and non-binary, gender fluid or genderqueer femme presenting individuals. The photographs in this series aim to poetically capture the hands of skilled tradespeople.

FLUID: A Documentary
Fluid is a documentary that explores how self-identifying queer artists self-fashion and engage in cultural production as a two-fold approach to queer worldmaking. Fluid captures the views of 6 local and practicing queer artists in Toronto. The documentary illuminates what factors affect the clothing choices of queer individuals and their impact on identity. Fluid is the product of a larger research project by Alysia Myette in partial fulfillment of her graduate degree in fashion studies at Ryerson University.
