These works use the concept of tools as a comment on the nature of dysfunction; a dysfunction that stems from this binary assignment to even inanimate objects. Right now, we must reflect on the absurdity of using harsh angry solutions to the most poignant human strife. Instead of smashing, digging, and trapping, these tools invite consideration of the shifting of the energy of the actions.
In these books the viewer creates their own textual meaning. Using glazed porcelain, hand made paper and found hardware I examine the concepts of fragility, intention, instruction, and in the ‘spooled book’ (created in November 2020) the thread represents the connecting timeline ready to be stitched to the future
Embrace those qualities assigned to the feminine such as gentleness, compassion, softness and whimsy. Let your imagination help to create tools for a kinder future.
