Untitled- Series, 2021-2022
Canvas on Stretcher
12.5 X 16 inches
Parkas’s latest work, Untitled, 2021, is an ongoing series of stretched raw canvas on stretcher frames, with visible hand stitches. The work is a self-reflexive repetitive process of weaving that the artist started during the pandemic waiting for life to go back to “normal”, referencing the Greek methodology in which for three years, Penelope has put off choosing a husband among the suitors by saying that she must first finish weaving a shroud for Laertes. Each day she weaves and each night she unravels her day’s work.
