CONTORTIONS
From 2004-2013 I cared
for my elderly, formerly
independent 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 concerned her
became a topic for my
work. Other works
followed: "Cradle," a
pelvis , "Dreads," a
heart, and "Snare," a
second digestive tract.
Crochet is a portable
media I could carry with
me to doctor’s
appointments and
hospital bedsides.
It references the work of
my great-grandmother
who taught me to
crochet as a child.
