Hot Pink Zip Tie Blanket

Conceptual Materials Social Practice Artist
Precision tied black zip-ties on 10’x5′ black fishing net draped over 8′ steam armature….
The blanket is weighty and casts light shadows against the wall.
Part of a new series of works exploring the impact of implicit bias.
Just how massive is theTag 1 installation? That’s me in the photo with my pieces at the Nice & Nasty Newark Arts Exhibition for context…

If you haven’t seen it yet, you should. I’m really proud of the result and plan to explore more work of this ilk.
Please go see it in person. The fabric plays a trick on the eye.
Walk into the lobby anytime at 389 Washington Avenue, Jersey CityYou can’t miss it covering the entire wall.
I can’t believe its done. All I need to do is find a wall big enough to hang it and photograph it.
Wonder Women is a riot of pony beads, buttons, bottle caps, crystals, mirrors, flowers, embroidery, and bling measuring a 10’x8’.
Over the course of four weekends, Garden Level hosted four Sewing Circles. More than twenty people headed the call. Each influencing the work in their own way.
A nine-year-old girl walked in off the street with her mom and learned to sew her very first button. Even, two men joined the fun and documented their work.
A massive thank you to everyone one who stepped in to sew and offer their helpful suggestions. Shout outs too…
