Breaking the Glass Ceiling
Glass and fiber have numerous connotations. Here, I bend, twist and recontextualize words we commonly associate with glass (breakable, transparent, clear, fragile, delicate) and fiber (domestic, spinsterish, traditional, conservative, quaint, women’s work) to show how those same words reveal our assumptions about each other based on race, age, ethnicity, country of origin, native language.

Weaving Hand Residency
Thanks to Cynthia Alberto, I’m a Resident Teaching Artist at Weaving Hand studio in Brooklyn. I’m having a blast! Using old shirts and fabric, I’m cutting these materials into yarn, which I use to weave. I’m also incorporating some text via embroidery and paint, adding to my @EmbroideryPoems project.
