As part of the Land Tracings exhibition, the Arizona Commission on the Arts will present an evening of durational patchmaking with P.Nosa.
With a portable sewing machine powered by a solar panel and a bicycle that generates electricity, Nosa tours the country, settling in public areas where he sets up his machine and asks people to describe a scenario in five words or less. He interprets these scenarios in the moment, sewing intricate designs onto a patch.
