Sewing and printing at NewCourtland

We've been working away to finish stuffing and sewing pieces and to print the rest of the objects. The pineapple basket being printed above was Serena's. Her mom would crochet the baskets and use them as decoration.

New Courtland Fellowship

We've completed the first two sessions of my project with Germantown Home seniors and college students and recent grads. We are recreating objects that each person has lost and wishes they still had. In the next two sessions we will begin screen printing onto fabric and sewing the pieces into dimensional works.

Gladys' Baby Ruth

Just printed a bunch of vintage fabric Baby Ruth candy bars. Gladys from Germantown Home described stealing her Dad's Model T Ford to go to the store and buy a Baby Ruth. She was only seven years old and stacked pillows so she could reach the driving wheel.

In progress comment box

I have been working on a comment box for the Free Library with my intern Monica Morris. I am hoping people will submit their stories of objects they have lost for my installation there in 2014.

I will be represented at the Pulse Art Fair by the West Collection from May 9 - 12. I will be installing stuffed living room furniture pieces onto a wheatpasted Tyvek wallpaper background.

Coming Home will be featured in a solo exhibition at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts from April through August 2013. The opening reception is April 19 from 6:00 - 9:00. PM.

Lost and Found

I made this sketch for an installation I am planning for the Free Library of Philadelphia in 2014. The sixty foot piece will be made up of wheat pasted Tyvek and stuffed fabric objects based on stories from people about things have lost and wished they still had.
