Soft Sculpture, Mixed Cloth

My soft sculptures are constructed using repurposed materials, primarily denim and other fabrics donated from family and friends. My creative process begins with cutting material and sewing pleats to imbue the fabric with structure. I use a Singer industrial sewing machine that my father acquired in New York as an immigrant decades ago. This body of work investigates ideas of traditional women’s labor, the interplay between craft and fine arts, and circular economies aimed at eliminating waste.
