A collaboration with my late grandfather. Her tears are comprised of an old film photograph of a hunting trip he took in the 70's.
In continued efforts to meld the digital with the physicality of quilting, I began experimenting with the digital pixel and its optical ability in the physical world. I was also interested in the idea of ‘baring it all’ under the protection of the pixel.
English Paper Piecing is one of the oldest forms of hand quilting. It is the base for the famed grandmother quilt made of hexagon flowers. It is also a huge source of community for women as they sit in groups to work on their EPP projects and trade fabric hexagons with one another. The process is also physically draining and time consuming, which is why it is often not a solitary practice. I found that stripping the community from such rigorous processes allowed me to push my body and attention span.

Through the vehicle of voyeuristic desire, the artist creates glimpses into a basement world, where her secret activities as a sexual being are on full display. The viewer peers through a velvet window at a velvet woman (the artist) performing a self-gratifying activity involving sexualized self-portraiture. The basement, in this world, serves as an arena for experimentation and secret-holding that the artist requires for uninhibited expression.

A lament on the details of the body. An examination of the face in the basement - a vignette of my face, construed and strung on basement piping.
Completely out of the blue in 2016, I received an email from a boy (man) I used to talk to in high school. He was 18 and I was 14. This piece is part of my response to this email.
