Three Sisters
|
The ties that hold us as one, the blood that curses through our veins, the shared memories of family.
I made a promise to my mother to hold my sisters close and never let go. As soon as I spotted this piece of wood, it spoke to me of how we are joined, equal and separate women yet bound together as one. The frame itself also speaks to the connection. In its original life, it was a shredder. For me it became a way to express holding us together through it all. This is for you mom. |
Tears of The Mother
|
This piece symbolizes the turmoil that is our world. Whether because of war, hate, bigotry, or neglect, there are more tears than can fill the oceans

They are Yakagany glass, sputnik aragonite, a vintage tin toy globe, agate, copper, bark, reclaimed wood box, kata polyclay, smalti, pebbles, foraged rock, and colored candle wax. AVAILABLE. |
Welcome to America
We are a country of refugees. Fleeing religious persecution, seeking political asylum, escaping poverty, searching for a better life...
We come clinging to our dreams of acceptance and hope.
When did coming to America mean to separate families looking to us for help?
When did coming to America mean we rip children from their parents?
When did coming to America mean it is alright to put children in cages, frightened, alone, confused, sent to live with strangers?
Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico
Fleeing to our open arms?
When did this become who we are as a country?
This piece was created in response to the Trump May 2018 executive order "Zero Tolerance".
This resulted in 2,300 children to be separated from their parents. Some children are forever lost in the system, never to see their families again.
