The third in a series of three embroidery pieces I’m showing at the Daejeon Arts Collective’s 8th group exhibition. I pushed the deadline on this one, only hanging it the day of the opening party.


I am interested in how people make sense of the world through stories. Living between cultures has heightened my awareness of the different ways people interpret the world around them. Working across mediums, I explore how intangible narratives shape our lived reality. My work invites viewers to consider the stories that have shaped them, the ones they carry with them, and the role these narratives play in the realities they inhabit.

This is the second of three pieces I plan on showing at the Daejeon Arts Collective‘s 8th group exhibition in November. Three weeks to go and one piece left to embroider. I’m watching Gotham season 1 while I stitch, so I should be up to date by the time I finish the final piece.
A friend mentioned that the girl resembles the Canadian ‘record producer, artist, musician, singer, songwriter and music video director’ named Grimes. I had to Google who that was, but I see it. She can be whoever you want her to be.
*This piece is now in the collection of Venus Lukic.
I mentioned that I would start embroidering the sea turtle sketch next, and though I did start on it, I got sidetracked and completed this one instead. It’s one of my temptress sketches, but she’s wearing a sweater instead of a corset. I watched the last three seasons of The Wire while doing this one.

I have always had a thing for the song Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, though I grew accustom to the Counting Crows version. I took the sketch I made at the 1000 drawings event and made an embroidered version. I think I’m going to explore embroidery for a bit.
