CURRENT WORK
 The Gender Portraits are “self” portrait collaborations with the artist, where individuals present their own embodiment of femaleness. All portraits shown here are printed on Hahnemuhle German Etch and set within oval frames.  BEAUTY REVISITED is an extension of The Gender Portrait Project bringing together photographic portraits with personal narrative into the context of the "American home". The work confronts society’s displacement of female identity.  Textiles printed on heavy cottons and canvas with conceptual imagery. Suitable for upholstery, cushions, and other interior furnishings. Fabrics initially designed and made for my installations and portraiture.  Chairs as found objects are refinished with milk paint, waxed, and upholstered in hand screen printed textiles as a component of Beauty Revisited series. |
