$0.00

Artist Statement

In my work, I dissect known forms associated with women’s work and/or sewing, such as thimbles, sewing pins, lint rollers, dresses and pincushions, to try to understand it thoroughly and in a context different from its original. I create playful scenarios and question how the arrangement and interaction of materials and forms anthropomorphizes them. Underlying stories and histories of an object's strangeness, even objects that we consider common, pique my curiosity.
