wHAT i'VE BEEN DOING...
Laughing is what I've been doing a lot! Photo by Rachel Horvath, my amazing neighbor at Real Tinsel studios.
What I've been stitching...
Road Work.. was the working title of this project but the actual title is There Were Signs. I took photos of construction symbols painted on the pavement in my neighborhood as well as broken roads, printed the photos on organza and stitched them onto beaded tulle and sheer rayon. Then I hung those diaphanous ribbons onto broken bicycle spokes.
Thanks to Jesse Kuester at Wheel and Sprocket for taking apart an old wheel for me! what readers say ...
Lyrical and sensitive … -- Jayshree M. Tripathi
I really enjoyed this uplifting poem which celebrates the power of the perfect shoe. -- Pamela Newham
I love this, and I really relate to the torn feelings you so eloquently shared. -- Stephanie Gagos
