Dreamcatcher
4.5'x2'x9'

First work created while at Penn State. The eggs are resin coated and then gorilla glued together inside the embroidery hoop. The inner hoop is wrapped in white string. The two stand far apart from one another with yards of string connecting them.

Bridal Shower

This piece is made with 300 hollowed out eggs shells that were then attached to a string of Christmas lights. I found sheer curtains at the thrift store and sewed the two together to create a fabric basket to hold the eggs. The fabric satchel is hung over a wooden pole that is attached to the wall. This piece addresses the reliance on marriage to feel complete or happy. By hiding the glowing eggs beneath a confining yet beautiful fabric, I am addressing the allure and confining quality of family and domestic life.

I also wanted to show images of this piece with the lights off, it glows quite a bit more.
