technique Throughout my work I have explored the tradition of craft through a variety of medium: batik, weaving, sculptural forms in fabric, hand made/hand dyed felt, photography, printmaking and filmmaking. This tradition with its emphasis on technique rather then the individual artist, allows an ambiguity of the handmade vs. machine reproduction. This ambiguity positions the craft tradition as a model for exploring and altering this machine made plastic world we inhabit into one that responds more directly to our visceral, and tactile knowledge. influences Throughout my career (as an artist and educator) I have chosen to work with children. Children are infinitely inspirational for me, their energy, thirst for knowledge and insights are elating. I am not unlike a child, my aesthetic is childlike and messy, obsessive and sweet. My other influences include cartoons, video games, boardwalk prizes, plastic bits, kids, toys, games, fruit, candy, sweets and treats. Previous works of mine include paintings of stuffed animals and licorice
