My work primarily consists of hand-embroidered drawings and text. I create installations composed of many small, often torn pieces of fabric. Taken together, the pieces exist as a book, or even a blog.
My work explores and records my most haunting experiences and memories, attempting to link the past with the present, and to engage in ongoing dialogue about contemporary, urban life through the use of traditional, women's handcrafts.
