this was a commissioned piece. kat (one of my favorite humans) asked me to make it so she could give it to her boyfriend sal for valentine's day. she started a tradition a few years back that she asks a different friend each year to make something that is their own take on them as a couple. this is one of the few pieces i have made that involve human heads. also, they have a lot of cats.


and below is one of the very first stitched drawings i ever made. it is pretty large (about 3' x 3') and kat actually bought it before we really knew each other. i made it for it almost was not, the very first show i ever had, at the padlock gallery. that was december of 2006. because the person who was scheduled to have their show the following month backed out, they asked me to have part two of my show for january. so i did. because everything from the first show sold (insane) i made thirteen new pieces in one month (even more insane). unfortunately it was all such a whirlwind of unexpected everything that i do not have photographs of anything from those shows. but many of the pieces were purchased by folks who are either friends of mine or are somehow connected, so maybe someday i will track everything down and snap some photos to share.

music together, by katie henry.
*please do not copy

i made this earlier this year for the seventh international fiber biennial at the snyderman gallery in old city, philadelphia.

enameled and stitched.

the most recent set of stitched drawings i made was for enameled and stitched, a show i had with adriane dalton at benna's cafe in march of this year.  due to a very unfortunate miscommunication, the pieces went to their new owners before i was able to have them photographed.  so the only images i have to share right now are the ones i shot quickly with my iphone when we were hanging the show.  i apologize for the poor quality of the photos.
