This piece started with the pants. The wrinkled pant leg pipe set up the scene. There were other bases in its existance but this one, red and white is ideal. My figures mimic the way I feel about “things”. They let out my steam. I am weary too but I am also hopeful.

All my works starts with the story in the scraps. The legging and Bolero scraps were the inspiration for this piece. Working with solid and see through to imitate heels to head was a blast.

No More Dinner
Inspired by: David Seltzer, Sea Salt/Lemon Sage Mixteca-Puebla Artist, Tripod Bowl

Plates, forks spoons should be on the table to serve the dinner, not abandoned in the mud. This is the antithesis of Feast, implying the end of a kitchen and family that would gather there. The empty ceremonial tripod bowl, Mixteca-Pueblo was used to invoke a prayer for plenty and gratitude when it occurred. The decorations on the stems of the forks and spoons elevated their daily utility. David Seltzer’s Sea Salt – Common Sage illustrates the memory of favorite food. Dinnerware abandoned to puddles still holds memory of diners once all connected sharing a meal.
