Yerrrrrrrr
My name is Janett Kabeh (kah-bae), but my peeps call me J, Big dawg, or Ms. Jackson if ya nasty 😂.
I moved to Los Angeles to continue with my fashion brand but boredom set in. Even though I made a decision to not make clothing at the time, I still wanted to work with and manipulate textiles.. and I really like denim.
My first piece was a denim tapestry, and even though I love it, it truly wasn’t satisfying. So im sitting in my apartment, starring at this picture of an elephant I drew in college, and looking at a bunch of denim on the floor and wondering how I can combine the two.
Before getting into it, I did tons of research to see if it has already been done and I couldn’t find anything. Am I a… Jeanius?
This piece has been on my mind for four years… let me explain.
Back in the days (lol) Alim and I would always engage in various art talks, and one conversation in particular, I told him how I wanted to evolve as an artist and get into portraits.
But I wasn't quite there yet. I had to continue working on my skills, that would eventually align with my ideas.
There’s absolutely no way in bomboclaat hell that this piece would have turned out as such four years ago. It's a testament to the journey of growth and dedication.
Take your time as an artist.
There’s no rush.
We gon be here for a while ✨

I don’t remember the year
But I do know that I would love to make denim tapestries again.
I have a few ideas. Nothing set in stone.
Perhaps when I move into my new space.
