Emily Ann Valentine Jacoby

I need to be loved (65 roses), No I need to be tough (sugar mountain), No I need to grow up (If someone asked me not to go to Italy I would be flattered)

Is a body of work I created while studying abroad in Rome and show at Spazio 40 in 2017 in the show XI XVII.

This collection features three pieces of cloth painted using gouache and fabric paint, inspired by Triptychs and religious iconography see throughout my time in Italy. The first reflect on my time as a baby, the second on my childhood, and the third on my time studying abroad.
