This is a page where I will be posting some of my own work in hair embroidery, as well as some traditional work, and the work of other contemporary artists. My most recent piece is

"Decades of Dreaming of You...", 2012, hair embroidery on mother's hair from gestation period, threads from unraveled pillowcase, 3 x 5 x 5". Embroidered text reads, "decades of dreaming of you...".  (working images)

Many years ago, when I was very young, I terminated a pregnancy. Decades later, at the last possible biological minute, I gave birth to my daughter. This piece was made to mark the completion of this cycle in my life.

"If you are an artist who happens to be a mother.... " someone once told me, "whatever you do, don't use nest imagery."
