Mini Interview

The great folks at the Little Bird Gallery blog asked me to participate in their 15 Questions About Art series. From their blog: 15 Questions about Art is an ongoing series in which we ask our collective favorite artists, writers, musicians, sleepy dreamers and object makers from across the creative spectrum to give us a glimpse into how they perceive art through a standard set of questions.

More from Home Home, Sweet Again

On wall, left to right: Untitled (branches, flowers) and Untitled (Kudzu)- both are hand cut paper installations. In foreground: Blue Ridge.


On the wall: Untitled (Gatehouse), sewn canvas and paper and Green limb, sewn cardboard, consumer packaging, paper and wire.

Untitled (Dan) - I wasn't planning to include this piece in the show, but the day of the opening, Armando, the Director of Underground Gallery, liked the image and sewed it into a pillow! It works well in the show, especially since the gallery is a domestic space (an apartment) and the exhibition deals with some aspects of domesticity.

Opening Tonight

My solo show Home Home, Sweet Again opens tonight at Underground Gallery in Sliver Lake. Almost ready! Here are a few install shots:



I ironed some of my sewn works flat-a domestic activity for preparation of artwork in a domestic space.


More to come!
