2025 Vintage cotton fabrics, synthetic batting, cotton thread, crystal beads 58” x 47” The works in Flags of My Home series reflect facets of my experience and inner life—fragments of memoir, memory, and dream. While the series generally draws from my writing, which is part of a daily practice, this particular phrase—“these walls are alive and crawling”—originated as graffito I found on a wall of my college art department, discovered decades later in the long-shuttered building.
