Finally got around to documenting this piece from awhile back. It’s part of the Self Entanglement series, made from recycled fishing nets and plastic. It also somehow free stands! #chicagosculpture #fiberart #drawinginspace #laborslost #hangingsculpture
Well I’m certainly not the best lazy Susan out there but I’m loving working on these new free standing pieces! It’s about about 7.5ft tall and completely made of woven wire! Big thanks to my studio manager @spitboy for encouraging me to push the materials and process to its limit! More to come soon!

Some more felting! Softer on the eyes and especially on the hands at least for now… Looking forward to putting all the pieces to the puzzle together and seeing where this all goes!

First free standing Exhalation piece! Been meaning to do this for a while and finally had a very patient and amazing collector give me the space, encouragement and time to get it done! Was determined to not add any weights base or other structural elements ... It’s all wire supporting wire! As always big thanks to my studio manager @spitboy for putting up with my stubborn ways and the collab on the engineering!

One of my favorite projects from this summer! Big thanks to the loving family and collectors for the trust and opportunity to flex the old weaving skills! Special thanks to my amazing studio manager @spitboy_ for being the sane one in the studio and sticking with me through thick and thin!

Needed to explore the softer side in life! Been doing a little felting in between wire weaving!
