Statement of Intent- “Labyrinth,” a wall piece composed of dryer lint and wire, has an uneasy overtone to it. When people think of dryer lint they image softness. However, when they move in to touch the piece they see what looks to be barbed wire. Their reaction to touch the piece is soon squashed by the fear of being cut. ... [Link]

Statement of Intent- “Home Is Where The Heart Is,” a loom crossed-stitched with dryer lint, is a feminist piece due to the materials and the girly color pink. Being hinged to the wall, the piece lends itself to be examined by the viewer from the front and the back, seeing the process and the finished product. The piece connects the ... [Link]

Statement of Intent: “Bear,” branching off of “Hamster Fanfare,” measures 10 ¾” x 5” x 5 ¼” and is made from chicken wire, packing tape and dryer lint.
