What happens when what we create is no longer entirely our own?

THE ART OF BEING CHANGED · ONGOING PROJECT

Through participatory weaving, Amy Kertzer explores the shifting relationships between individual intention and collective influence. Each work begins with an artistic framework and unfolds through contributions that respond to, alter, and build upon what came before.

Kertzer's final interventions bring these accumulated gestures into a cohesive composition, preserving the unpredictability of their creation.

Each site gives rise to a distinct artwork, shaped by its people, materials, and particular circumstances.
