I use fabric from worn camouflage uniforms to create installations about the devastation of war. Originally designed by artists to conceal soldiers in nature, camouflage becomes, in my work, a way to metaphorically return those patterns back to nature. I often use intentionally rough craftsmanship to depict the insanity and absurdity of war. In other work, careful obsessive sewing speaks to the fragility and beauty of the human body. At a time when war is becoming highly technological, hand-sewing can re-focus attention on the personal.
