Artist Residency Project

I am excitedthat I will be at the Residency on Governors Island in NY from Sept 6 to 19th. I have proposed an experimental project outside of my usual painting practice that refers to my identity as a Jewish woman, mother as well touching on issues such as diversity and inclusiveness. It consists of a daily ritual: sewing single, lost socks together to create a long tube, containing references to the body. Part of my process will include collecting dryer lint and lost socks at Laundromats while I am in NYC. The dryer lint will be used to fill the long sock tube. Visitors of Governors Island will be asked to assist me in connecting the socks. Here are a sweet photo of my first sock project this past month when I was the resident artist at a visual art camp for kids.
