Nuit Blanche Toronto 2019: Selected Work
With a dress as my canvas, using traditional needlework, textile manipulation and crafting techniques, I have built a self portrait- a deconstruction of myself, piece by piece.
Needlework and fabric manipulation can reach beyond the solely practical/craft realm and tell stories, evoke emotions and thought. This is my homage to embroiderers and textile artists of yore.

Self Portrait - Pieces of Me
Audience Participation
As a companion piece to the embroidered dress installation, visitors were invited describe what the individual embroidered hoops meant to them- what they saw. Or to draw 'pieces of themselves'. These were then attached to a blank hoop dress. The resultant dress was creative, thoughtful and insightful.
