The life and times of a textile artist, obsessed with second-hand clothing over 25 years.
Today is the last day of pride month and next week on July 8th is the last day of the fundraiser I am holding for The Trevor Project. Among the works offered is this early drawing from 2005..
Each of these stacked clothing sculptures was created in direct response to a painting by my dear friend Kelly Reemtsen. Our collaborative show opened in May at Galleri Oxholm in Køge, Denmark.

What my hand saw, 2021. I like the idea that the hand can 'see' in a sense, making a picture in the mind of what it feels. A kind of synesthesia. It's based on a hand-sketch from a few years prior, but the germ for the idea comes from the early 90s.
