This work emerges from an ongoing exploration of how the body holds memory, solitude, and tenderness. In this piece, a bedroom scene is interrupted by a an oversized bird that takes shape in dense embroidery, its mass conveying both weight and softness. The figure’s posture and the tactile quality of the embroidery hint at exhaustion, surrender, and the comfort of being enveloped.

Framed in a White Oak floating frame
A fox stands in a forest of thread, its shape caught between memory and presence. Planes of white and black divide its body like facets of a crystal, hinting at fur, light, and the edges of a disappearing world. Against the black linen, the stitched trees cast a pale glow, a ghosted landscape where the wild waits.
In this work, the fox acts as a messenger from the wild, carrying traces of both instinct and human influence, and hinting at how our attempts to frame nature inevitably transform it.

Framed in a Walnut floating frame
This piece fuses mid-century modern clarity with a futurist edge to imagine the female form beyond the present moment. The figure’s segmented body and doubled eyes hint at both continuity and disruption, an echo of ancient sculpture recast as a vision of tomorrow. By reducing the form to planes of black and white thread, I explore how identity is built from memory, technology, and architecture.
By posing questions about what it means to be female in the future, the work invites viewers to consider continuity and change. Will the fight for women’s rights persist, and how will definitions of femininity evolve? Using thread as both line and texture, the piece bridges past and future, craft and speculation, creating a bold, tactile portrait of transformation.
