dirty lace

These are done using coal collected from along the railroad tracks of various coal trains in WV. Look for the dirty lace series to be added to my website soon.

drawings

Here are a few shots of some new drawings and projection pieces I have been working on. The symbol in the drawing has been appearing in almost all my work recently. It is based on a template taken from a Martha Stewart craft project. All my work is now made while my 9 month old is napping and so this symbol becomes a measurement of time and domesticity.
