the Universe Provides
Textile art and installation about bounty and balance. Since 2016
The phrases "The Universe Provides" and "Reabsorbed by the Universe" are beaded within the embroidery, turning the mandalas into linguistic as well as visual meditations on the bounty and balance of the universe. See more

Heat fused pastel pigment on linen. Ironing the pastel down also makes the fabric itself somewhat waterproof. The linen here has a slight sparkle coating that is hard to photograph but gives the iris depth irl.

Eye sculpture components from #goodwill including some very old plastic that stood unused and unscratched for apparently decades. Cheesy gold glass bowl? Perfect for a "hazel eye". Next: drilling into glass and testing glues.
