Textile & Hand-Stitched Sequins | 2025
Recently exhibited for the @wellwellprojects group show, this artwork is part of ongoing considerations of slow grief and coming of age. Returning to and reworking the work from its original completion in 2023, the sentiment of leaning into sensitivity feels more like home than it used to.
Thank you to @mariogalluccistudio for the incredible documentation!

(All for) Crying Outloud | 2025
Sequins, Costume Fabric, Organza, Tulle
48”x24”x8”
I revisited this piece after letting it rest in the studio during the last year of graduate school. Returning to an idea and reworking an artwork is the perfect way to transition towards a long term sustainable practice.
Looking forward to new work in development!!

Three years and two degrees β¨πβ¨!
An incredible experience working with talented artists and scholars across four cohorts @pncamfavisualstudies and @pncacriticalstudies
Incredibly honored to have won the MFA Thesis Award ~ knowing the care and passion of this work, “Doing Despite” was so well received by a panel of faculty and guest critics is still sinking in. If you didn’t get a chance to see the artwork ~ stay tuned for a website update or cross your fingers for it installed again real soon β¨
Thank you to family and friends who helped make this all possible. Community care and cultivation was touched on throughout commencement yesterday — my heart is full of gratitude for mine.
Congratulations to all @pnca_hallieford graduates. In the infamous words of Elle Woods “We Did It! π”
