Target Practice

I made this 50 frame "flip book" for an intro to animation techniques class that I took in my sophomore year.

Portside

My friend Rhonda left this in the kitchen closet when she moved to Chicago. It needs some repair, but she's a good ship.

The Night March

"At the beginning of the wet season, most adult Red Crabs suddenly begin a spectacular migration from the forest to the coast, to breed and release eggs into the sea. Breeding is usually synchronized island wide. The rains provide moist overcast conditions for crabs to make their long and difficult journey to the sea. The timing of the migration breeding sequence is also linked to the phases of the moon, so that eggs may be released by the female Red Crabs into the sea precisely at the turn of the high tide during the last quarter of the moon."

This piece took the better part of a year to bring to completion. I used cut pieces of copper for the stairs and wrapped copper wire for the frame. I finished it in fall of 2005.

Cornelia Forster

Cornelia Forster (1906-1990) was a Swiss artist who worked in many medias, one of which was embroidery. "Toro Evangelista" pictured above can be found at the Wasserkirche (Water Church) in Zürich.

Pink Ribbons

I made this when my mother's best friend Joan Lee lost a tragic battle with lung cancer on December 15th, 2004. My mother died of the same just three years prior.

Stitches and Fur

I made this when I first moved to Atlanta a year and a half ago.

Tamagotchi

I found this amazing set of Tamagotchi plushies with my friend Ellen at a Salvation Army in Bloomfield, Connecticut many years ago. She also has a set of 4.

Like It Or Not

Architecture in Helsinki - Like It Or Not from helsinkids on Vimeo.

My friend Elaine sent me a link to this stitched Architecture in Helsinki video a few months back. It still amazes me. The video was directed by Josh Logue at Mathematics in St Peters, Austrailia.

Sounds Butter

My friend Pia sent me a link to this amazing new media piece by the Sounds Butter Interactive Design Group. It combines both sewing and cassette tapes, two of my favorite things!
