35, Harvey, IL---I live in my art work. |
| About the Artist | |
I believe in the imperfections we all have. In an improvisational way I use the sewing machine to put together everyday materials or scraps in a manner that is well constructed, and inspired by a love of naive expression–like children's art work or bad sewing.I love handmade things,old things,domestic objects,garbage.I'm inspired by people who have their own path in this world,who don't follow society's rules about how one should be. |
