Over Under
 Hair Hat
Hair Hat, 1999-2004 This is a hand-spun, hand-knit hat made entirely out of my own hait. I gathered the hair over a period of five years from my hairbrush. The hair accumulated in the brush from daily brushing. The hat is sized to fit me. Over, Under
Over, Under, 2004 Pencil on Paper This work was made for a benefit exhbition at A.I.R. Gallery. Welts
Welts, 2004 Soap and cotton cord. Installation at Open Ground in Brooklyn. This work was made as part of the exhibition Open Season that launched the fourth season of exhibitions at Open Ground. The work was designed to highlight a section of wall space that is interrupted by a water pipe. The soap (with a cotton cord armature) runs horizontally up the pipe to exaggerate its presence. 1,0 9 7
1,0 9 7 (between decoration and infestation), 2003. Cotton, tape, and string. Installation at Naked Duck Gallery in Brooklyn. This work was made as part of a group exhibition called Exquisite where 12 women artists used their artistic practices to develop relationships with each other. Each artist in the space was required to discover or create a relationship between their work and the work of the artists exhibiting work on either side of them. The process was loosely based on the surrealists exquisite corpse drawings. I created 1,097 elements, a number based on a combination of my birthday and the birthdays of the artists on either side of me, and then installed them as if they were some sort of architectural disease or fungus that creeped into each of their designated spaces.

Rain Catchers, 2003 Soap and rain. Installation on the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn This work was created as part of the OpenGround booth at the BridgeStreetFair. It was created early in the morning on site during a breif but heavy rain pour. The works are created out of soap and were molded into small receptacles that collected rain as it fell. They were placed where the water runs towards drainage vents on the edge of the street where it meets the sidewalk. This receptacles were made to collect the water, but also slowly deteriorated because of it. [ MoreImages ] Punto
Punto, 2001. Twine. Created in Venice, Italy. This work was created based on early techniques used in Venice for lacemaking and tying fishing nets. Scratches
Scratches, 2001. Stones. Created in Italy in a patch of gravel that changed abruptly from light to dark stones. I created this piece to enhance the difference color. Objects
Objects, Ever-evolving. Soap, cotton, paper, twine, floss, yarn, string, and other materials. Part of my process is to create objects as experiments. Sometimes the objects alone become a small sculptural work, and sometimes the objects are created in abundance and become part of a much larger installation. Specimen
Specimen, 1999. Latex, Brooklyn tap water, and an embroidery ring. 3" X 3" X 6." This work was created out of a balloon filled with Brooklyn tap water and framed with an embroidery ring. The work slowly grew moldy, and the latex eventually disintigrated. (My apologies for the photo quality. The work disappeared before better shots were taken.)
