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. 

Dreamcatcher

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.

Pantyhose Project 2

I decided to post my sketches because I love to see other artists sketch books next to the final project. I've decided that I'm going to combine the pantyhose orbs with a hand made rope in between, kind of like an umbilical cord. But I wanted them to hang over your shoulder or around the back of your neck like a fashionable bag.

I've posted my most recent steps in this project. Both the balls are complete! I added quite a bit more string to the forms, making them more tightly compact and controlled. Next step is to connect the boogers!
