I make soft sculptures to capture what it feels like to be uncomfortable in your own skin. I look for humor, energy, and tenderness in my experiences of anxiety. My creatures are made from layers of sheer fabric, yarn, and faux fur that look like skin that is molting, sagging, bleeding, and healing. Bright pink faux fur and glittering beads contrast with wounds, scars, and imperfections. Every piece is sewn by hand with raw, expressive stitches of red thread. My sculptures are assembled from parts of older works, fabric scraps, and upcycled taxidermy, giving old materials a second life.
