Image Statement: During a year in quarantine, dreaming of being out in the world again. A found doll traveled with me in our former reality. Photographing her was an exercise in seeing the world to which I now wish to return. I embrace the challenge of combining traditional techniques like embroidery and bookbinding with contemporary ones like digital photography, digital manipulation and printing on non-traditional materials (polymer clay).
