This installation explores the tension between individuality and conformity, inspired by the phrases “get in line” and “fall in line.” In today’s polarized world, “falling in line” often implies blind obedience—something I resist both personally and politically. The figures in this line defy that notion. Each one is a unique character, crafted through layered fiber art techniques including felting, weaving, surface design, and stitch. Their differences are not only visible—they’re celebrated. When viewers press a switch in a figure’s hand, lights illuminate parts of their bodies. This act of connection—joining hands and literally lighting up the world—is at the heart of the work. We “get in line” together, as individuals, toward something joyful, communal, and alive. These figures could never “fall in line.” They are too textured, too weird, too wonderful—just as people should be.
