previous work

This week we were asked to post some of our previous work, especially pieces which relate to our interests for IP, here you go...

This box was created for my "Inside Small Containers" course sophomore year. I really enjoyed working with delicate materials. The piece was based on an original fairy tale which I wrote on a scroll and placed inside the box.

Inside view, scroll.

This work, described in my very first written assignment, uses a doll's dress made by my grandmother along with text stitched on by me. Holding a piece of history in my hands and giving it new life and meaning was really important to me.

This print was the final stage in my first series of etchings. It takes an object, a sewing machine, and pushes it to its limits - eventually causing the piece to burst into a sea of threads. I think the abundance of the threads and chaos they create was successful.

This print was a combination of stone lithograph and digital media. The connection between stories and personal relationships was a large part of these piece - based on my grandmother.

Books have always fascinated me, in this work I carved an intricate tell/cell-like pattern into the pages of a book about deforestation. I loved working with the repetitive form and motion of the cutting tool.
