INTEND by Tia Keobounpheng uses the geometry of needlework to move her consciousness beyond binary narratives to imagine a more complex framework of understanding. The work in this exhibition holds the space between intention & impact and speaks to the committed inner work of learning to truly see ourselves in context.  Keoboupheng’s meticulously drawn and stitched paperwork can only be seen in reflections from mirrors on the wall. The messier beauty of the reverse stitching, typically the hidden side, faces the audience. It is her roadmap, her place on earth, her geometry, with precision lines collapsing into frayed edges and loose ends.
