The evidence of water is left unaltered for it is the experience of flooding, drowning or inundating that inspired the work. Chloe is deeply concerned with the effects of climate change, rising seas and flooding. She is also inspired by the history of textile art and much of her textile work is about exploring the medium in new ways. Working with fabric, yarn and thread was often the only means of art making available to women in the past. It was also deeply a part of the daily chores. For Chloe, these pieces explore the overlap between what humans have done to the earth and to women. It is a place to express grief, to allow the tears to wash over her for all that has been lost and what is yet to come. It is also a nod to her female ancestors for all that they sacrificed and longed for. The fabric in subtle transitions of color is about the descent into the depths or the slow floating back to the surface. It is a place to enter the minds of women when working with water. See less
