Even though some slides and movies are personal and others are commercial, every picture represents a time in someone’s life, and something that person wanted to remember and share.

Never Helpless Ella

26” X 36” ties are 20”

Materials Used: fabric, slides stitched with crochet thread and buttons, slide carrousel head, camera face.

Installation: suspended from the ceiling.

Detail: The slides, sewn together with buttons, typically hold shared memories. I see similar images time and time again: holidays, babies, vacations, family gatherings. It appears that we all value the same things. This confirms, for me, our shared humanity.
