The sewing is my attempt to keep things together
and make things better."

Bourgeois Masks
life size, fabric covered heads
hiding emotions:
pain, doubt, hunger and desire;
cubist masks:
embroidered, decorated patchwork
of domestic materials
sewn together
- joining and reparation -
to heal traumas

Bourgeois Totems
mysterious, amputated fabric female torsos
- only womb, genitals and breasts -
laying on their backs
ready for love
holding babies, family and weapons
frightening miraculous ancient voodoo dolls
sewn together from old worn cloth
as bandage on deep wounds

Nightmare
Nightmare
textile appliqué stuffed, hand and machine stitched

I had a dream and put it into my textile art - the dream was a nightmare, but when I look at the piece it makes me feel secure. The nightmare is out of my life and is on his own.
