Little Small goes to Oregon!
My “Little Small” series (exploring young memories through collaged iterations of children’s drawings – originally show in Japan last spring) is coming to the Chehalem Cultural Center next month. Pop in for the opening on April 5th from 5 – 8pm.
And those with little ones! I’m teaching a workshop called “Memory and Mediums” on April 6th for ages K – 2nd grade – the aim being to have fun experimenting with materials while simultaneously learning to communicate meaningful concepts. Register online now here!
Personalized Rememory Collages
Now introducing “Rememory Collages” – custom works that include your own special fragments from your life. Can be created to remember an occasion, a person, a place, or anything else that feels personally significant to you.
The process involves choosing relevant fragments to the memory you’d like to honor and then mailing them to me so I can use them in the creation of your collage. For more details you can visit the product listing on my shop website!
A View with a Room
Flattered to be featured in this week’s A View with a Room, where home decor and design is curated around the palette and aesthetic of one artwork. Such a lovely idea- please check out Natalie’s website for more home inspiration! (This original sewn collage on felt “Living East” is for sale, PM me for the deets)
Residency at La Filature des Calquières
During the month of June, I completed a residency at the Spinning Museum in the town of Langogne, in the southern region of Lozère, France. During this time, I experimented using wool – coming straight from the carding machine in the museum – as a primary material in my collages.
Little Small Exhibition
Recently, I’ve been working on a new project creating collaged versions of drawings by 2-6 year olds. While cutting and sewing, I’ve been considering memories made from these first years of our lives, as well as the factors that may influence what is lost and kept.
This series, “Little Small,” will be on exhibit at Maebashi Works Gallery, in Gunma Japan, from March 10th – 21st. Hope you can make it!
