Red Line
Single signature, link stitch, acrylic paper marbling, linen thread, found red nylon belt with metal buckle rings, #1/1
Red Line is a conceptual artist’s book. It’s a reaction to the latest round of women’s healthcare and reproductive rights court challenges that American women must face and fight against. The book uses a stitched red line as a warning line, a point of no return, and a political metaphor.
Struggles of Wills, an artist’s book in my Grief Books series. This conceptual book includes heavyweight marbled papers with hand stitching, collage and personal writings reflecting on the struggles between Man and animals, parent and child, and fights over inheritance.
