Carry Gorney
Second generation German-Jewish émigrée
Rhea was one of the artist’s great aunts, who fled Germany with only a handful of photographs, embroideries and lace. This piece employs a double image: a photograph printed twice onto burnt organza and overlaid on frayed and torn cotton; distressed Tyvek (a unique, non-woven material) is then embellished with fragments of transfer foil and painted lace attached with hand stitching.
