Phase Glitch, 2026
Made en Mass is a first offering in Morin’s new body of work and an introduction to a universe constructed from the discarded. The sculptures and tapestries in this collection are made from yarn reclaimed from piles of unwanted commercially-produced sweaters. Morin disassembles each manually, harvesting the yarn and working slowly, resisting the speed and commodification of labor endemic to this AI era. Each work is made on a hand-powered 1980s’s era semi-industrial knitting machine in their Greenfield, MA studio, housed in a former shoe factory. The surface patterning is produced with hand-punched cards fed to the machine evoking the fast, technologically powered vertical manufacturing industry that is the source of both ecological disaster and violent working conditions. Through the works, Morin invites viewers to sit with the inescapable violence of late stage capitalism and tangible hope for resistance and change.
