The final piece of this body of work I made last summer! I’m getting ready to plant indigo seeds, and my pansies are starting to bloom again. I feel like this might be a cyclical body of work for me, something I come back to seasonally. I didn’t get to try out sun dyeing last year, and I have some other things planned as well. I’m excited to try some different types of indigo dyeing in my little apartment! My coreopsis has started to come back, and I’m ready to start pounding some of these flowers again as we head into spring. It was also fun to figure out how to make these little sewn nests for these crystals, and I’m thinking about what I want to do with that going forward as well….

Don’t Let Gravity Win, 2025. Coreopsis, pansy, and marigold dyed fabric, found upholstery fabric, piping, shells gathered under full moon, agates from Oregon coast, plastic chain, grommets, fringe and trim scraps.

Finished this work last year after a long time sitting on the different rainbow elements 🌈 I really love how the braided paracord in the middle is greater than the sum of its parts, color-wise… at least for me. I’m planning out my summer show right now and I think this one might make the cut ✨

I Long Just To Hold You Tight, 2025. Fabric, trim, embroidery, fringe, wooden beads, paracord, found belt buckle, chandelier drops.
