Held
Textiles hold pieces of the past. Fabrics hold onto the memory, love, and connection that we cherish.
I love helping people create portals to the past, honoring whoever they hold close. Held is a project of personalized custom artwork and collaboration between me, you, and your loved one.
I create a one-of-a-kind artwork for you, using outgrown clothing from a young person in your life. I will also hand embroider a drawing made by that young person onto the artwork. This artwork becomes a collaboration between me, your memories, and the young artist we are showcasing.
We all have people who have left our lives, whose impact still remains. Our connections to those souls are so special, and can live on. I create a custom artwork for you using textiles that belonged to a loved one in your life. This process includes a guided sharing of stories and materials, and the creation of custom artwork honoring this connection in your life.
