My installations are based upon my memories and upon cultural symbols which represent important aspects of my life. It is my hope that people will take the experience I put into an installation and relate it to their own lives. All of the installation work is hand-sewn because I want to recreate the cultural meaning behind the finished form. The act of creation then becomes a part of the creation itself. It is a way for me to meditate on the cultural symbols and their meaning in our lives.

“Bridal Runway” #4 55” x 14” x 2” Matting, colored pins
There are four sections to this piece. As any bride walks along it, there will be a price to pay in pain. Also, the steps of the bride change the piece. It is never the same after the performance. I walk on it in the performance.
