new resolutions









Here are some images from my most recent show, Sewn Together.
This was a fabulous show that I held along with my friend Jamie Alonzo, at The Birdhouse in Knoxville.
Jamie and I each had our own space, so these images are just of my work.
Transitioning from the show in October, I have begun thinking of the balance between inside and outside as well as up and down. I am continuing to explore the "in between" moments and portion of a story they tell. These fragments of journeys are moments of hope, filled with desire and fear, mingled in a quiet moment.
I was also in this show able to return to working with sewing and fabric, in a more integrated way, long overdue to return to my work. Also, I have begun a new love story with casting, which seems to be a logical extension of printmaking. Funny enough, just as I do with prints I have been casting one of a kind objects, somewhat subverting the process.
As you can guess by my title, I have made yet another resolution to be more faithful to my blog.
It's been hard, with show, school and new family member, Josie, a sweet lab mix.
She had a hard beginning to life, she spent the first two weeks we had her at the vet fending off parvo but now she's healthy and happy, as are we. Pictures of her are on the way. Please keep coming back to this portion the web I've staked out, I promise to make it here more myself.
