What does it mean to be a mother?

found materials (felt strips, yarn, thread, plastic rope, scrap metal, wood plank), 26”x35”

“This installation began as a series of material studies for my 4th year BFA thesis project. All the materials were found in my school’s “Re-use Depot” (felt strips, yarn, thread, plastic rope, scrap metal, wood plank). I was experimenting with the felt strips to see if I could use them to make sculptural forms. I made the central figure first and then built a narrative around it. ”
