Recent Work
Over the last two years, I
have been caring for my
elderly mother. Out of this
experience I created
“Porosity” a crocheted spine-
like form reflecting the
ravages of Osteoporosis,
and “Noose” a crocheted
form suggesting the
digestive track. The health
conditions that most
concern her become a topic
for my work. Crochet is a
portable media I can carry
with me to her doctor’s
appointments and at her
bedside. It also references
the work of my great-
grandmother who taught me
to crochet as a child.
