We Miss You Ruth!, 2020
thread, paper, plastic ring 14" diameter
Typically I do not have a specific end in mind, but in this case I did, and had to solve a number of technical problems to realize this symbolic piece. However, it turned out to be a great pleasure to use my weaving and dipping technique to mark the passing and to honor a great jurist.

Threading My Way, 2019
gauze, paper pulp, ink, linen, thread 34"h x 14"w,
I never tire of showing myself how dark looks on light and light looks on dark. This piece is simply about that, and reminds me of the pleasurable hours hand sewing it listening to the conversations around me.

Portent, 2019
plastic bird netting, pigmented paper pulp, thread 75"h x 66"w
To make this piece I dipped various shapes of plastic birdnetting into thick and thin baths of paper pulp. Not having any specific imagery in mind, I was surprised at how ominous and brooding a presence the final piece conveyed.
