Daddy Stitch

Personal embroidered baby blanket, thread

36 x 54 inches

Description:

Using the baby blanket embroidered for me by my great-grandmother Rose, aim to engage the viewer in conflicting emotions of love and horror. I'm also calling attention to the unhinged practice of adding an "extra" stitch to a woman after a vaginal tear happens during childbirth. To make her tighter, for the dad *wink, wink*
