I create interventions on craft by embroidering on top of objects originally used as decorative substance around the home. In doing so, I bring themes of darkness out into the light. Subjects such as domestic abuse, substance abuse, violence, gender roles, alternative lifestyles, oppression, and other subjects often ignored in a household setting. I use my own history to create motifs to enhance objects and materials that were once useful in homes, but now discarded, forgotten or lost.
