Pocket Pussy Series

 "Aged in Angora"

 "Fuzzy Heart"

 Red and Tangled

 One Eyed Squid

I found this strange pearl purse at the thrift store and I thought it was very weird looking.  I ended up finding several more that I thought may go well in a series of work.  I started making molds by pouring paraffin wax into bunt trays for baking and a gum drop shaped ice tray.  I started assembling my pieces together and the first pocket pussy created was "One Eyed Squid."  I wasn't quite sure what I created, but it was weird and I liked it.  I started calling them pocket pussies because I wasn't sure what else they could be called.  I would like to make more of these, maybe as many as 25.  I like the first one that I created the best and I haven't been able to figure out how to make the rest as successful.  Maybe the final arrangement will make these more impressive.

After my first semester at Penn State, I needed to work on some 2D stuff that was quick and fun during break.  My boyfriend Graham Erwin is an illustrator and screen printer so I decided to work on some collaborations using some old screens that he had.  I cut different colored pieces of paper down and patterned them with spray paint.  I used lace, string and tape to create abstract designs on the paper.  I then randomly pulled the different designs on top of them with the colors that seemed best suited.  After they had all been printed on at least once, I detailed them with colored pencils to add a little pop.  If you want more details you can access them through the links below each image, they are available for purchase on etsy.
