"After Flowers" takes inspiration from a Jacquard woven coverlet, produced in 1838 by the incarcerated weavers at Auburn State Prison. Under what became known as the ‘Auburn System,’ inmates alternated between periods of silent labor and solitary confinement, forced to manufacture a wide variety of products, including shoes, home goods, and raw silk. The system resulted in the country’s first for-profit prison, an institutional paradigm we still see today.
