These small textile works are made as answers to personal feelings about a world that is difficult to live in during ecological distress, economic imbalance and global unrest.

They are works for others who need a place to put these feelings when the status quo keeps telling us we are just not playing the game hard enough, or I shouldn’t feel so much.

When I wanted to lash out I created a tiny sword and set it motionless in wood. It’s ready. But it’s not yet used.

So if it’s a game, then this is the one I’ve created for my brain to play, that I know others also need for theirs. As the adage goes, “it’s all fun and games until there are tears”.
