Small Things

Clothes that don’t fit:

I use second-hand clothing in my work that has been picked out, purchased, worn and then discarded by people I have never met. For me, these items of clothing become important and valued artifacts with their own residual history but have the potential for a mysterious purpose beyond their original intentioned use. Crestfallen figures are sewn, stuffed, cut apart, and recombined. Arrested in bound, codependent relationships, heaps of figures and forms are mixed-up into a fragile communities, forced into precarious structures where there is the potential for reconciliation, acceptance, and collapse.
