Excerpt from the Running Stitch Statement
I called this series the Running Stitch because of the sense of quick stitches that I see in the run-along horizontal strips; and in a metaphorical sense, I imagine the strips and embedded objects as physical representations of a person's memories, stitched together during the accumulation of days and nights that make a life. The materials I use in these works are cultural and industrial remnants that I have found or have made to look timeworn and aged as if they carry history with them. This added resonance from a previous use or imagined life reflects a particular kind of beauty developed by objects and people through the passage of time.
