Awards for the Everyday is a series of fibre and printmaking works that draws on the material culture of craft and athletics to explore the shared values of art and sport — repetition, endurance, ritual, and the quiet celebration of effort.

Awards for the Everyday exists as an ongoing participatory project where viewers are invited to submit writing to the project. Viewers then become fans, reading the so-­called successes and losses of our mental health. After all, being part of a team often eases the anxiety found in isolation with the camaraderie and solidarity of a team. Winning becomes more celebratory, and losing becomes a shared burden. Ultimately, my efforts to find a meaningful place in the sporting world provided me with a critical lens into the history of mental health issues among athletes and my own psychological makeup.

Each ribbon is screenprinted and hand cut.
