I love trying out new materials, new forms of performance, new structures. Here are a few examples.
walking home
A kinetic sculpture made with materials from the waste streams in Moab as part of my re-use residency. Inspired by a conversation with a land steward at a community storytelling workshop where we talked about home and belonging and waste and disposability. 2021.
stencil
My long-time collaborator asked me to create a stencil from one of her drawings. Made from card stock coated with paper tape. 2023.
sumi ink and brush
experiments using a brush with sum ink. 2022.
the loons
An experiment with foam block carving and printing. 2022.
burnished clay bowls
one white and one red stoneware bowl with the outside burnished and the inside glazed. 2022.
metal ox mask and horns
As I wanted to delivery my annual lunar new year print safely during the pandemic, I made a fabric mask to resemble a metal ox (2021 is the year of the metal ox) hiding in a bush. Photo by Stefanie Loeb. 2021.
table top puppets (Judith Hope design)
An exercise in creative memory. Took a table top person puppet workshop with Judith Hope with a friend. The workshop was online and we were only able to take notes. Five weeks later, we deciphered those notes and built the puppets above! 2022.
egg yolk headpiece
A headpiece created for a member walking with Egg Yolk Jubilee during carnival in New Orleans 2022.
water tiger mask
Mask and costume worn as I delivered Lunar New Year cards to friends in town. 2022.
indigo
An experiment using an indigo vat dye and soy paste as a resist. 2021.
runoff
Created from materials in the Moab waste streams (thrift store, recycling center, landfill), runoff was inspired by another community storytelling workshop where we talked about home, belonging, disposability and waste. This group talked about how we treat both land and people as disposable and it was during this conversation that I first learned about the Moab pile, uranium trailings that threaten the Colorado River. (It is currently and slowly being moved north by train.) 2021.
cloth tool pouch
An attempt to use fabric scrap to make something utilitarian. 2020.
tiny masks
An experiment in casting multiples from a tiny mold. These masks were given away during Mardi Gras 2018.
upholstery!
Learned how to upholster and transformed a couple of bar stools for a friend’s house. 2017.
Olivia's secret box
A present for my niece. This long this box has a lid that slides and a middle section that swivels to reveal a bottom secret compartment. 2014.
Started to make puzzles when my friend introduced me to his scroll saw. 2013.
