DONT SHOOT
Free-motion embroidery on cotton
H. 10.5 x W. 13"
2024
This piece challenges the gravity embedded in the seemingly straightforward phrase, "don't shoot." The colorful blocks veil the solemnity of the message prompting the viewer to reflect on our societal tendency to overlook the profound consequences of gun violence. The dual interpretation of the phrase "don't shoot" becomes a focal point of contemplation. It oscillates between an individual pleading not to become a victim of violence and a plea to both law enforcement and the broader community to abstain from resorting to force.

Cold Comfort Quilt (Trigger States)
Hand-Cut Acrylic Felt
H. 50 x W. 50"
2022
The decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe V. Wade motivated me to create this quilt and explore ideas of comfort and protection. Quilts supply warmth, coziness, mark important life events and create community. Cold Comfort Quilt (Trigger States) challenges its practical use while referencing traditional construction. Each quilt block is a hand cut design of initials of the 13 states who have trigger laws regarding abortion. These states either have already or will soon eliminate 50 years of a woman’s right to control her reproductive health.

Sound Portraits
Sound waves created from gun shots recorded during mass shooting in Las Vegas, Stoneman Douglas High School, and Pulse Night Club. Sound is just one of the markers of these tragic events. The pieces when turned from the original reading of a sound wave become a type of portrait.
