We have visited Jude Broughan in her studio in Brooklyn, where she's been working on new large scale collages and more intimate works. Looking into the cyclical nature of our existence, thinking of the eight phases of the Lunar month and her own body, the artist created an artist book "Night Swimming." Broughan paired 8 poems that had emerged from the notes she makes on the floor while in the studio with newly created stitched collages that take shape and size of her own hips. One symbol throughout is the pool as a metaphor for society and ideas around that.
