How could I transform the plentitudes of plastic packing pillows into something artful? The early Keeper's appearance is dominated by hard-edged demarcations between black and red. But as the meditation of making dozens of multiples progressed, descendants of the original Keepers mutated form as corners lengthened into ear-like appendages, and their coloration evolved into painterly mixtures of black and red. Perhaps these ensuing generations of Keepers are successfully embracing their cultural and racial diversity, disregarding external trappings that may include The Clothes We Wear. Eleven Keepers linked as a vertical ceiling to floor sculpture, 96 x 14 x 14. #66I21. SOLD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9dd6254430dc26a6c440d5/1635629305617-XQRO86DVAK82DZV458OP/2021_1027_62I21_Keepers_Floor_Installation.jpg Installations - THE KEEPERS: ASSEMBLY Thirty individual Keepers comprise the floor level assemblage.

When the trail dips low along Fountain Creek, signage warns: “In case of flooding, climb to higher ground.” With the global rise in temperatures and water levels, coastal cities will soon be underwater and many will be migrating to higher elevations. And speaking of water, every year, the fashion industry uses 93 billion cubic meters of water in its manufacturing processes — enough to meet the consumption needs of five million people.

The nature of today's fashion industry is to discard and replace; in the United States, a staggering 85 percent of our textiles go to the dump each year; the equivalent of one garbage truck of clothing burned or dumped in a landfill every second. These free-hanging sculptures seek to re-envision and re-purpose articles of clothing that might otherwise end up in landfills.

The rest goes mainly to landfill. And, as exemplified by this article of clothing I rescued from Fountain Creek, some of it goes into our lakes, rivers, and streams. More than 60 percent of fabric fibers are now synthetics, derived from fossil fuels, so if and when our clothing ends up in a landfill (about 85 percent of textile waste in the United States goes to landfills or is incinerated), it will not decay. Nor will the synthetic microfibers that end up in the sea, freshwater and elsewhere, including the deepest parts of the oceans and the highest glacier peaks.

My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yes, God, I want to talk to everybody as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night.” Deconstructed St. John's Bay Men's T-shirt, Lace from Deconstructed Woman's Blouse, Encaustic, Knotted String, 24 x 26 x 5, #61I21.

(Had it been easier, I might have left). A discarded woman's skirt morphs into a lampshade-like four-sided suspended sculpture. Hand-embroidered cursive on opposing sides reflects the dilemma faced by migrants who must make heart-wrenching choices between staying in the homeland they love versus facing the dangers of crossing borders to seek physical safety or a viable livelihood for their family. A reminder that people do not just pick up and abandon the place they've lived for generations without cause.

From the “Pocket-Keep” series, part of the upcoming exhibition “The Clothes We Wear” (Dec 2021, Kreuser Gallery), an installation of six 2-sided suspended sculptures, averaging 23 x 12 x 4.

Historically, women have contributed substantially to humanity's advancements, but have been systematically secreted away, absent from our HIStory books.

After deconstructing most of a worn out tee, the remaining structure tossed out on my work table looked to me just like a woman's bib top skirt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9dd6254430dc26a6c440d5/1595707612756-0KYHCZ8TRWLZEE3G9I1Q/20200723_170351.jpg Blog - Blog #2: Week 20 of “Staying In”…….The Clothes We Wear A lot of the process I'm interested in right now has to do with the transformative qualities of waxing a piece of cloth. Having never “encausticized” a knit fabric before, I first tested the outcome. My preferred qualities of stiffening and transparency still show true even with a t's cotton knit fabric. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9dd6254430dc26a6c440d5/1595708159958-G4NFD8OHAD5PPT6FFRJQ/20200725_135354.jpg Blog - Blog #2: Week 20 of “Staying In”…….The Clothes We Wear Somewhere during the pondering of what text to stitch, I read the t-shirt's label. I'm still shaking my head at the quirky nature of the phrase I appropriated to symbolize our international clothing manufacturing process: “Assembled in Mexico of US Components.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9dd6254430dc26a6c440d5/1595704575488-8DB6NFSLZXLPIO5JA2S4/20200613_150139.jpg Blog - Blog #2: Week 20 of “Staying In”…….The Clothes We Wear For an abstract painter who prides herself in a “Without Knowing” approach to applying paint to panel, it is at once ironic and amusing that I'm finding great pleasure in using a thread and needle to draw and write text in a very representational style. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9dd6254430dc26a6c440d5/1595705135580-B1C40BXZ6YI1SV15QRR5/20200723_170628.jpg Blog - Blog #2: Week 20 of “Staying In”…….The Clothes We Wear The act of making marks on this flexible cloth substrate one stitch at a time, is simultaneously meditative and contemplative. With a creative history of word-smithing, bringing text into my visual art is brilliantly pleasurable and satisfying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9dd6254430dc26a6c440d5/1595707989814-38EVREXM1S7AJ30NZKFK/20200723_171046.jpg Blog - Blog #2: Week 20 of “Staying In”…….The Clothes We Wear Tools and materials. Waxed black linen transformed into encausticized scrolls which I’ll use to construct the sculpture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9dd6254430dc26a6c440d5/1595708792065-A5BNR9KOYIXIQXE88LV4/20200716_101056.jpg Blog - Blog #2: Week 20 of “Staying In”…….The Clothes We Wear Super jazzed about constructing! Figuring out how to shape the waxed, stitched fabric.
