This patch is inspired by a life well lived no matter the age, race or gender, but by the experience the human vessel encounters. If we examine the body inside out, would we see the bruises and batteries of our everyday existence or do these events flow past us with minimal imprint? What is the topology of trauma?

-Andrea Lauer

Artist Andrea Lauer designed special edition patches inspired by Janna Levin’s Scientific Controversies: Are We Really Damaged By Trauma? program at Pioneer Works. Your purchase supports our free programming and collaborations with artists. 

Note: The patch can be ironed on with dry high heat or sewn.
