About
We are drawn to the grand gesture, the loud assured voice, the bold move, the aggressive brush stroke. I celebrate the opposite: the small moments in our lives – the unremarkable. I honor the overlooked common miracles and unnoticed superpowers that keep our homes, our communities, and our societies going.
For the last couple of decades, I have primarily worked with fabric and thread, which embraces our everyday. Viewers know how it feels, they can relate to the material just as they connect to the dismissed domesticity and the ordinary but important aspects of daily life.
My most current group of sewn artworks started in celebration of the uncelebrated heroes: the person who can find you a clean public bathroom, the person who steps up and does the dishes or cuts onions for you, but as Covid-19 took over, some of the things I was celebrating became even more pertinent, toilet paper, soap, hand sanitizer. These objects became signs of hope, of safety, of comfort.
