Work in progress 2020/21 "Memories from my mother's Button Box" . Installation 8' X 8'. Paper Clay, glaze, threads, buttons.
"I remember sitting on the floor organizing my mother's button collection while she sewed and mended. This new work-in-progress emphasizes the power of memory that these small objects hold for me as I place and sew them into thin walled paper-clay forms. These forms appear and disappear against the white wall, pinned delicately to float above their cast shadows, and the viewer immerses themselves into the fragile tones of memory, childhood, domesticity, and the time spent collecting and revisiting a time passed"
