Cowboy Cannas, 2022

Stereotypes Afforded Us, 2021
Deconstructed Dress, Flannel, Grommets and Wire Installation 4 x 9.5 x 7 IN
Made from recycled dress materials, this sculptural body was a play on creating rigidity in textiles and combining sections together through the use of wire and grommets. I love the idea of designated findings that link us to the natural world and each other.

Organza and thread 2' x 2' x 2'
I love how this piece of organza pintuck looks like a couture trash bag lost in the woods. The water is so clean you can it below the surface like in Lord of the Rings. Oddly delightful and spooky.
