Artist Talk with Baylee Schmitt

Exhibition: we settle into corners with the dust and mites

Exhibition dates: Jan 3 - Feb 16, 2025


Exhibition statement

I crochet my childhood home from memory, and this installation is the bedroom I once shared with my twin sister. Making this work is a meditative – and anxious – practice of understanding myself in relation to my sister and our twinness.


Crochet is a series of units: stitches that make up rows, rows that make up shapes, and shapes that make up both image and object. It echoes the way memories, relationships, and experiences seem to make up a person; the way rooms make up a house; and the way individuals make up a family. I use yarn to build shapes stitch by stitch, crafting an image to interpret the emotional memory of the space we inhabited as a unit.


A relationship fraught with petty bickering, clenched teeth, and arm pinching is also one of inherent, sometimes tense, allyship, inside jokes, and comfort. Perhaps our relationship, and the room that housed it, is defined by difference more than similarity – a sort of melty ego mess with disparate parts that don’t yet know their individual shapes. They are defined by the other and changing all the time.
