Table Settings, 2020-21
Four weeks of dinner tracings with pencil and thread on recycled household linens
68 x 48 inches

Table Settings gives form to the accumulated tracings of plates, utensils and all the other objects that make up the shifting terrain of a single dinner table. It quietly grapples with patterns of everyday life made more apparent and more tangible over the course of countless days and nights. The patterns are belabored and bewildering—on one side a record of relations and movement, and on the other a tactile universe emerging from lines that are normally wiped away.

Undercover at Artist as Quiltmaker XVIII

Undercover will be part of Artist as Quiltmaker XVIII, FAVA’s 18th Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary Quilts, from May 12 - July 29, 2018. From AQM: The Artist as Quiltmaker is the second-longest-running  art quilt exhibition in the world. This year's exhibition will feature the work of 32 artists from across North America, selected from a pool of over 300 entries. FAVA deliberately chooses not to define “quilt,” thereby encouraging both established and emerging artists to submit innovative artwork, pushing boundaries and challenging expectations, whether they use traditional or non-traditional techniques or materials. JUROR for 2018: Emily Zilber; The Ronald C. and Anita L. Wornick Curator of Contemporary Decorative Arts, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
