In this work the figure is used to explore that which is seen and that which is kept close to the skin. The Waitress, the Mother, the Lover, all of these roles play a part in a woman’s life, fragmentary and coexisting. The intentional siting of this work in Ann Marie Lingerie places the installation in context and displays what is often hidden, the dreams and inner support that are only hinted at on the surface.

My artwork is informed by the exploration of surface design on fabric. I am largely self-taught, experimenting in my studio to find successful methods. The fabric for this installation was created through breakdown printing, a silk-screen process that changes with each print. Patterning, forming, and stitching complete the pieces that form the installation.
