My artwork fuses craft and fine art to create objects and site-specific installations inspired by everyday artifacts from the female domestic sphere. I see the domestic sphere as a space of self-expression, a space of pleasure and pain, a space to control, and a space that is essentially a construct. I employ the comforting process of crochet to explore themes of discomfort and the coping mechanisms used to provide solace from the stress and trauma of modern life.  The subject of each of my works pertains to an aspect of comfort, yet the objects themselves are unable to provide this for the viewer, mirroring the futility of coping mechanisms employed in real life. The only true, effective comfort in these works lies in the repetitive motion of the process of crochet.
