"I
am inspired by the idea of turning utilitarian
fabrics and discarded objects into something new,
inviting the viewer to see these overlooked things
transformed into graceful birds alighting, preening
or guarding a clutchof eggs in a nest.
Many of my soft sculptures are sewn from recycled
and found fabric - paper maps, clothing labels,
feed bags and flour sacks. Many of the spools
of thread belonged to my grandmother, while others
came from complete sewing boxes that I found at
thrift stores.
These birds with their thread are building nests
for their young, just like the women who used
this thread two generations ago sewed toys and
clothes and household goods to care for their
children."
