Threnody
2007-To Date

This series of mended leaves in different media addresses some of my environmental concerns.

Thread Drawings
2003-To Date

These drawings are a dialogue with my materials addressing my interest in the creation of objects that do not exist in the natural world yet reflect or transmit information about our world and our place in it.

Notions
2000-To Date

The acquisition of an old sewing box complete with contents sparked my initial explorations of the topography of sewing materials and furthered my interest in how societal changes are reflected in our consumer goods.

Designer De-signed
1996-2000

This series began as a reaction to my teenage son's infatuation with brand name clothing labels. My original intention of simply subverting the labels insidious role altered as I began to work. The acquisition of an old sewing box complete with contents not only provided diverse collage materials but encouraged my explorations of the historical aspects of needlework and clothing.

Kitchen Drawer
1998-1999

This work is a result of the coming together of two artistic approaches. Robin's two dimensional work using pattern and images of domestic objects to invoke memory and challenge the marginalization of the mundane combined with Diana's three dimensional work involving sound, light and movement to humanize technology.

Mapped Perspectives
1993-1995

This series explores how our sense of landscape is a composite of many fragments - sensory information, knowledge and memory. Like art, maps are representations of their maker's perspective, yet also symbolize our inherent tendency to categorize our vision.

Mixed Printmaking Media

My initial interest in Willow ware was sparked when I found a small shard and, despite its size, was able to identify the distinctive pattern. This series is concerned with the re-examination of mundane objects and their significance in a larger continuum, and also investigates the connections between visual and emotional memory.
