Happy Independence Day, 250 years of radical imperfection. A complete disaster, and hands-down, the best option we have.  This AM, I was in Jeffersonville, NY. A quintessential, small American town. And to my surprise, I felt proud and optimistic. I love my community, all differences aside.   At the local Pecks market, I was happy to find an American flag (made in America).   Love to you all!   #americas250thbirthday @ilovejeffny #pecksmarket

My go-to studio sweatshirt is hanging on by a thread.
 Last week, when the washing machine repairman saw me wearing it, he pointed at the paint spatters and the frayed collar and said, “That’s no longer a sweatshirt, that’s a friend.”

Honestly, he got it.

One of the core ideas in my work is that clothing carries a trace of the person who wore it. We shape it, soften it, stretch it, repair it, live in it. In a sense, we animate it. Some people feel that deeply. Others wear something a handful of times and then toss it like an old rag.

My work reconnect us, even briefly, to the daily, often unconscious ritual of getting dressed.
