“Cheap Sheets and Soiled Smalls” is. series of nine hand-embroidered pieces on hospital blankets. A collection of letters and essays completed between May 2015 and March 2019, each one inspired by a specific chapter or relationship my life.
Love. Sex, Money, Men , Health, the physical body, reality vs fantasy, being a woman, commitment to being an artist, aging, spiritualism, truth, justice. addiction and purpose are just some of the themes that inspired me during the creation of this work. Themes that have accompanied, shaped, guided, misguided, loomed, taught, provoked and inspired me throughout my life.
My practice as an artist has always included multiple media. But the three things that have consistently held my attention and inspired my motivation are textiles, the written word and photography. This body of work is a marriage of all three.
