“Eric Fong’s Asylum Needlework transforms delicate Victorian needlework and recreated dresses into haunting cyanotype images that are visually striking and emotionally resonant. Through his sensitive treatment of material, texture, and scale, he evokes the personal histories, vulnerability, and quiet resilience of the women who made and wore these objects. I selected this work for its meticulous cyanotype process and the way it thoughtfully brings these histories to life.” – Jodi Kwok
