COLLAGE ON VIEW
Lineage
at The Pool near Southside in Fort Worth, Texas, USA
8 August-9 September 2025
“Lineage” is a body of work that explores the roles of women through the lens of lineage, domesticity, and craft. Rooted in personal experience as a mother, daughter, and artist, the artist’s work draws from tactile, familiar materials—doilies, silverware, vintage photographs—and reimagines them as vessels of memory, labor, and care. The title honors and pays tribute to the women in their family while reflecting on Bass’s own evolving role—and the artist’s daughter’s—in today’s society.

How do women navigate their roles across generations? How have expectations shifted over time? These questions consider the intersection of tradition and self-determination, in a world that often pulls us in competing directions. Inspired by objects once central to domestic life but now often discarded, Lineage seeks to restore their significance in a contemporary context. By combining 2D and 3D elements, the exhibition honors overlooked traditions of women’s craft, once dismissed as decorative, and brings them into the gallery space as symbols of care and resilience.
