To overcome feeling helpless watching conflicts harm innocent people, I made this vest to express a prayer for the protection of women and children as wars rage
This spring I saw birds nesting in the weirdest places; inside a wooden utility pole; inside the “weatherhead” where a powerline enters a building; on top of a business back door. Birds show the way to make a home in our city, creatively repurposing what is available — they are just like me.
Had a solo show at After time Collective Gallery in 2024
The Rostros are a series of abstract textile portraits that depict individual faces. In addition to anatomical features like mouths, noses, ears, and hair, the Rostros are patterned with what could be perceived as wrinkles, scars, or tattoos — records of their lived experiences, origins, tribal affiliations. Their corresponding environmental backgrounds help explain how the Rostros live in the world. They look directly at the viewer with open eyes, telling stories of where they came from, and where they are going.
