SICK OF -
"When I started "Sick of-“ I think I was frustrated. But with each needle, I got sick of it, and before I knew it, the anger had unraveled. Then it allowed me to get in touch with the sadness, pain, anxiety and fear that had been covered up by the anger (or had caused the anger).
Many hidden (and merciless) stories that are treated as if they never existed always come to my mind. The stitches, just delicately stitched, were somewhat uncomfortable. But when I let the thread droop and bring the crude knots to the surface, it somehow feels right. I realized that I wanted my work to have a touch, trace, of emotion hidden within a story of inconvenient truth.
Creating within the constraints of using things that already existed, things that had been forgotten or thrown in the trash, seemed to bring meaning to me. I modestly hoped that they would be reborn in my hands and bring new awareness to myself or someone else. I wished to continue to create in that way."
