Juan
Ill and poor his whole life,
he lived quietly in other people's shadows;
he held my tiny hand with great tenderness,
I could sense his ache,
the pain of being invisible.

Google Earth: Orinoco Delta
39"h by 49"w
The idea for this piece is my own recollection of trips to the
jungle in Venezuela and canoe rides along the Orinoco River;
its waters are clear but the iron ore deposits of the area color
the bottom sand and the surrounding shores.
I made a large piece of felt from scratch using some lovely
Merino wool that I hand-dyed; other sections were also
hand-dyed using rust shavings.

Lampada Osram di fronte alla stazione
giornali, cartoline
le insegne, le reclames
la fila di tassi
la calca sopra i tram
annodi il tuo foulard
le otto e dieci ...
Grazie dei bei ricordi, Claudio Baglioni!

What We Lose Along the Way
51″h by 42w″
My piece "What We Lose Along The Way" now proudly hangs
in the atrium of Rock Hill's new Performance Center for the Arts.
Thinking back to when as a teen I fantasized about what I would do
in life, who I might become, where I might go, what I might achieve,
led me to put some of those feelings into this piece, not with a sense
of regret but, rather, the realization that letting go of some things
allowed me to achieve others, perhaps unimaginable at the time.
Maps, ideas, years, friends, countries, fears … What have you
lost along the way?

This piece showcases illustrations drawn directly onto the fabric,
screen printing, and all-over free-motion stitching that echoes
and complements the drawings. The bound border is also hand-painted.
