In This Moment
Recent work reflecting on the current state of things.
Redistribution (a work in progress), 2026
Viewers are invited to be collaborators and vandals, to pick and pull fibers from the rug and drop them into the bowl.
As the surface image is picked apart, another image is revealed beneath. The fiber collects in a new form.
(The image being unraveled is a Voronoi treemap of the international distribution of wealth. Each cell in the diagram represents one percent of the global population, and the size of each cell represents the wealth held by that group.)
A Sound to Dispel the Darkness, 2025
I wanted to create something speaking to the moment - the craving for agency instead of helplessness; the need to believe that small acts on all our parts can have impact; art as a form of hope and resistance; creating community and conversation; remembering the deep need for joy and comfort.
I recorded two sounds - Tr*mp saying "Your country is in big trouble" and a crowd chanting "Breathe and then push" during a speech by Valarie Kaur. I took the visual depictions of these soundwaves and manipulated and overlaid them to create a grid I used as the framework for this rug. I used color and line and soft, comforting wool to show a joyful chorus drowning out and breaking up the sound of hateful voices.
Dangerous Coat, 2025
The week of inauguration in January the poem "Dangerous Coats" by Sharon Owens came across my path.
My creative energy had flatlined since election day and I was having a hard time making anything. But the idea of making a "dangerous coat" was appealing to me.
I believe that our garments have the potential to be a powerful form of nonverbal communication. A way for us to express to the world who we are and how we want to be seen.
As I stuffed the pockets of this coat, I reflected on how fortunate I am to be connected with so many people who are engaged in beautiful important work right now, to be living in community and connection, and to have access to community organizations that support so many who are under threat right now.
Let's fight fascism by connecting and taking care of one another.

About Artcles of Comfort
This collection, Articles of Comfort, is about the lived experience of grief and the things one does to learn to carry it. Images, concepts and visions that have helped sustain hope and build resilience in the face of grief have been transformed into tufted wool rugs. The rugs are touchable -- they seek to embody comfort in their softness and warmth and color and texture.
