The Bunny Don't series is an extension of the fuzzy "don't" pieces I've been creating. A blend of cute and vice mixed with a bit of inside secret. 

Sugar & Spite is a floor piece that consists of 3 rugs that symbolize a heart felt friendship that developed between myself and my husbands ex-girlfriend. The handwriting in green is hers, the handwriting in blue is mine and where they intersect its pink. This piece is a testament to the power of forgiveness and friendship and the complexities of both. 

The Don't series is a collection of textured, hand made pieces with the word "don't" in my handwriting. I love the idea of "don't". It feels like such a loaded word. Not necessarily negative in connotation. There is something satisfying about making work that is meant to be touched. 

The Fetish Platinum Edition piece was created at the request of Art Murmur Gallery in downtown LA in 2007. It was shown as part of the Battle of the Sexes group show. It consists of 400 bras and underwear made out of Victoria's Secret Catalogs hung on painted silver display racks. There were also accompanied photographic prints of model and actress Valerie Azlynn wearing a custom set of underwear. 

Kewpie dolls have a bit of androgynous innocence to them. This small collection of pieces was inspired by love, sex and war. Hint Hint is about engagement. The tryptic, Seduction, Submission, Subversion is about sex. Pet Fish is about love and friendship. Baby Bomb is a play on the pin-up girls they used to paint on bombs. 

These 4 small paintings where mixed media, coated in resin. Meant as simple reminders. 

Changing Rooms was shown in the Ackland Art Museum in Chapel Hill, North Caroliina as part of my Graduate Thesis. I was playing with the ideas of deconstructing change and the creation of a space with which to reflect. The environment had all the cut out parts which are needed to make a suit. Only instead of cuting them out in fabric, they were shaping out of particle board and edged with flashing. The screen consists of every canceled check I had received in the space of 5 years. Changing Room 1 represents themes of commercialism, professionalism, futility, and change itself.

The Photographs were a collection of 10 images of 10 friends. I asked each friend to pose for me wearing 10 outfits that they felt defined them, with the stipulation that one had to be underwear and one had to be outerwear. I wanted to capture their personalities through their clothing but also make them like paper dolls. All shot in the same light and processed to each have the same orange hue.  Changing Room 2 represents aspects of personal change, appearance, conformity and expression. 

Found Objects was a show I had at the Glass Gallery within the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I created 16 artillery crates that housed a variety of found objects that I had been collecting for years. The repetitive objects where indicative of my process and my visual vocabulary. It was my way to purge the past and clear mental real estate.

Public Displays of Affection was a piece I did for a show in Salt Lake City called Public Displays of Affection. I delivered a series of large format, high tack, floor stickers that were to be placed around the city in various areas. The show was inspired by a story in news were a gay man was arrested for giving a quite innocent kiss to his partner in an alley owned by the Mormon church. 

400 bras and underwear made out of Victoria's Secret catalogs and hung on gold painted display racks. This piece was shown in the lobby of the USX tower in Pittsburgh PA as a part of an exhibit that coincided with the Three Rivers Arts Festival in 1994.

The Vagina Box series was an on-going endeavor from 1993 - 1995. Using found wood and objects I created various containers and displays that played with the themes of feminism & sexuality from an autobiographical perspective.
