Would you like to invest in the Bank of Our Common Wealth? Rachel Breen wants to know.
She asks the question while seated at a treadle sewing machine, foot on the pedal, hands pushing a dollar bill under the needle, connecting it end to end with a length of others.
In its most basic sense, sewing connects two objects together, and Breen frequently uses this metaphore for connection in her work. In her earlier work, Breen used a sewing machine to stitch fabric onto paper. More recently, she used an unthreaded sewing machine to draw on paper with tiny holes.
She calls it experimental drawing. It’s a method Breen, who lives in the Kingfield neighborhood, developed accidentally in graduate school at the University of Minnesota. She was sewing on paper and when the machine ran out of thread, she kept going for a moment, noticing how interesting the mark was that the needle made on the paper.
Sometimes Breen uses the holes as a stencil, shaking powdered charcoal through them to make a print. When the exhibit or work space allows for it, she prefers to work directly on a wall instead of paper, creating a temporary art piece that is a conscious reference to both graffiti and cave drawings.
