Domestic Works

Becoming a mother changed my studio practice dramatically. Making things still drives me from day to day, but there are many days when my studio life is extended into my home. My family audience is small and specific. Work done for my home and family informs my other work and vice versa. These images are "works" shown and used only in my home.
