Artist Statement:
Two constants throughout my life have been sewing machines +
monsters.
Sewing, is a magical process that allows me to make flat
materials 3-dimentional or stitch together any combination of elements. As a medium, it possesses limitless
possibility regarding form, method and application. Either by hand or machine, I choose sewing
because it is my inheritance.
The combination of girlie and non-girlie elements is a
particular favorite. Nightmares, a preoccupation
with fear, and an ongoing obsession with horror films and fairy tales are forever
present. I love monsters because they
are never what they seem.
