Conceptual Materials Social Practice Artist
My social practice builds community through conversation about shared experiences… via story ribbons tied to a net.
Free Your Mind focuses on exposing microaggressions. The community is invited to share a personal experience with bias to release this interaction from their personal narrative.
So far more than 5000 story ribbons have been collected.
Learn to use old textiles or scrap fabric and turn it into rope.
The process is easy, slightly addictive, and most definitely meditative.
Join me in making rope for an installation at Governors Island Summer 2023 about hair.

There is plenty to see and collect including mini-baggage carts, affordable monoprints and ice dyed & printed tote bags.
Write a statement about implicit bias or a microaggression you have experienced and release this story from your personal narrative.
I will print your story on a ribbon, infusing your essence into the social fabric of a protective blanket.
Join me for an interactive open studio audience participation session, to wrap and hitch knot thousands of yards of recycled yarn onto rope. Your essence will become a part of this hair installation, finding a common denominator amongst us all, HAIR.
