understudy

images from the underside of embroidery (some with hair)

it's the little things

pulling thread through thread that has been pulled through thread. making marks. enshrining fragments and cast-offs. disecting anatomy. bisecting tradition. focussing in. are my concerns really so small?

closing in on it

just a few nit-picky minor adjustments and details to go before it gets its senior picture taken and is handed off for a test-drive.

progress report

getting it ready for the hand-off. very excited to see how a dancer would interact with/ activate this. its purse, pod, carrying case..is detached and therefore not show. i'm in the process of adding some spots and ruffles influenced by some hybrid lillies a professor at springfield tech. community college was kind enough to show me while i had a show there recently.

don't just burn your bras (continued)

in the loose spirit of summer and the timeless need for recycling:
bra with lining, beads, and fish skin



















bra with lining, beads, hair and fabric scraps

fragments

constantly reconfiguring. these are some of the latest exercises. hair and nails. embroidery thread. crocheted border. wood stain. nail polish. beads. misc. found fiber.
