Drawing from an obsession with ritual and decoration, I use hand-stitching techniques on contemporary materials to express a modern connection to a feminine tradition of making. The objects represented in this collection open up a dialogue about womanhood by using the historical language of beading, embroidery and stitching, mixed with contemporary materials that exclusively relate to the female experience. By also injecting some humor into the collection, I am enabling an easy entrance into the space of the work. Through synthesis of materials, I am creating a space where a historical and contemporary feminine making can interact and become something new.
