Salt (2016)
Salt is mined, extracted and evaporated. Stitching mends holes, fills in blank space. This artwork began life as the back of an unfinished needlepoint and grew into an exploration of geology and archeology.
Anxious Chronicles
Time is collapsing. The past and the future are redrawn in the present.
Postcard interventions (original postcards dated 1897-now, collage, paint, pencil, thread)
