New Work 2009 - 2010
This newest work is still evolving. The images are constructed using pages from Harlequin Presents romance novels published between 1970-1980. These pages are sewn together with gold thread and hand cut to form patterns that are based on bedclothes - sheets and pillowcases - collected from various places across the country. Combining these two things creates some questions about intimacy and personal narrative that I'm interested in continuing to research.
