𝘿𝙖𝙮𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙞𝙣 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣 Wrought Iron Garden Gate, Hand Stitched Organza and Embellishment This month, there are two pieces on view in Portland that mark a turning point in my sculpture practice. 𝘿𝙖𝙮𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙞𝙣 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣 was completed in early January 2024 in the middle of a crowded studio of glitter, flamingo tchotchkes, tulle remnants, and photograms. While I didn’t know it at the time, this sculpture started in 2021 with the purchase of the wrought iron feature at a garage sale and a helpful neighbor driving it back to our duplex. The plan? To grow a bed of flowering vines around its frame in the garden bed. The reality? I grew around it instead. Daydreaming is now a method of fabrication that combines material flirtation with tender camp intentions. It embraces intuition and offers me space to loosen up — directly imbuing artwork with a part of myself to energize the form towards 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 In the most affective sense of the word. 𝘿𝙖𝙮𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙞𝙣 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣 in on view at Well Well Projects (@wellwellprojects) 12/6-12/28 with open hours Saturday and Sunday 12-5PM. #contemparyart #daydream #textile #sculpture #puffedsleeves4anne #austenaesthetics #pdxartist #wellwellprojects

(𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝒇𝒐𝒓) 𝑪𝒓𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑶𝒖𝒕𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒅 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! #contemporaryart #portlandartist #crybaby #textile #sequins #glitter #affecttheory #kitschbitch
