Sacramento Terroir

I'm using trash, liminal spaces, and my Design is Dead portfolio to promote the local arts and culture scene. By inviting local artists to explore what can be accomplished online and in person, I hope to reclaim algorithms and invert the economy.

Busy Books

Material follows access.
Stim toys for a new world!
These books are made from post consumer materials - old clothes, walmart bags, stickers from packages, recovered art supplies, and sometimes a little bit of moss.

These books conveniently carry the technology to clean out landfills and convert the Great Pacific Garbage patch to wearable art, but more importantly, they're a cool accessory that can be styled with a variety of fits and fashions. Coordinated with a bright lip, the wearer becomes unstoppable.

*Books I-IV are currently available on a community discount. If anyone from the community buys a book before Book V is finished, the price is $1,750. Once Book V is complete, the entire set will be rolled up into a new work and a new price will be announced.*

Garbage Tapestries

Garbage tapestries are an output of experimentation with pressing plastic. Pressing plastic is an exertion, I must stand on my small 2nd floor porch while wearing a respirator, while ironing with a good deal of force. Over heat the plastic and it stretches, under heat it and it peels apart. Each material has it's own way of being alone and in relationship to the other plastics.

With "Portal for Little Treats" and "Abstract Landscapes," I experimented with cutting up small pieces of plastic and layering them on a canvas of walmart bags. I attempted to hold the elements down with acrylic paint, glue, and scotch tape.

While I enjoyed those results, the pieces frequently fell off all over the house, and the process became inaccessible. From there I explored sewing on these items, both to hold the pieces in place, and also for decorative and functional reasons.

These tapestries are made from pressed plastic bags, that have been layered with other found materials and stitched.

It feels very touching to make something for someone else out of their plastic. Plastic bags love to be repurposed. It closes the leak in the ecosystem, and repairs instead of harms.

For this reason, garbage tapestries are made for and from the same household, or are passed between Jewish communities.

Yarmulkes

Function follows naivete.
I had a bra cup, so I made a kippah out of it.
I showed it to a rabbi, who said if she could wear it in front of her congregation, she would. I asked around about what this could possibly mean, and learned that women who are rabbis experience gender discrimination just like women in any other job.

I thought my intent was to make a feminine yarmulkes that more traditional women would be proud to wear, but as they came into creation, I discovered that they were for less traditional people who are bone tired of "traditional" men and their opinions.
