So see this piece live you have to live in L.A. and go to the Hive gallery. It will be there all november long.
Each of these pieces is hand embroidered on either cotton or linen fabric. I have a show opening in Milwaukee July, 20th 2007 at the hotcakes gallery. So far all of the pieces that I've done focus on women from mythology and folklore. They are usually violeent, or somehow sexual. I feel my work is akin to outsider art, folk art, and low brow art, (sorry no hot rods).
Please feel free to post your work in my comments section. If it gets to large I will have to delete some (they will be the older ones). Please nothing to big!! Please no animation, it will be deleted imediately!!

I spoke into the darkness I spoke into the dawn Bartered all those memories For this dance upon the lawn When my voice was but an echo My chest an empty shell I found my soul had vanished And on my knees I fell
