While teaching, writing, curating, and administering the craft media area at New York University, my studio art navigates the converging worlds of craft, art, design, and fashion while initiating a dialogue between tradition, technology, creative recycling, innovative materials processes and techniques. Whether creating sculptural objects in clay -subversive jewelry using crochet, zippers, or scouring pads – hand felted hats or laboriously intensive seed beaded bracelets, I always manage to create a sense of fun, irony, irreverence and attitude in my work.
