Current Project
Wearing the Inside Out
Threads Misbehaving
Writing becomes cloth.
Garments become a second skin.
The private becomes present.
One project. Four connected forms: installation, performance, wearables, and collaboration.
What happens when a garment associated with illness and institutional care becomes a site for individual expression?

Installation
World of Threads Installation
What once concealed
now reveals.
Wearing the Inside Out is an evolving art project exploring the relationship between identity, the body, and what we keep hidden. Through collaborations with healthcare participants, students, and performers, personal writing, drawings, and imagery are transformed into garments, sculptural constructions, installations, and performance.
The project moves between private experience and public expression, giving visibility and stature to what often goes unnoticed.
Performance
Performers become active marks within a picture plane.

About the project
Materials acquire
possibilities.
I want my walls to walk.
Margery Amdur’s practice brings painting, sculpture, and textiles into installations and wearable forms. Threads misbehave. Seams wander. Repetition, attachment, and mending become ways to think about identity and the relationship between inner experience and outward appearance.
