I like to think of my recent works as portals; thresholds to a new wave of thought surrounding the beloved wall hanging. I have found a great joy in the assemblage of these pieces. Sewing scraps of fabric together makes a new, more dimensional surface, one with seams pulled taut and textures varying . Here the surfaces seem to feel anguish and joy simultaneously. All these pieces represent my realities, my struggles epiphanies & doubts. My hope is to create a highly captivating body of work that shows care, complexity, mystery and a grotesque beauty, reflecting the varying facets of the world itself. Emily
