  I “paint" with physical cuts of cloth that are stained or patterned. The pieces are unstretched and simply float on the wall. My methods of assembly include pins, an iron and my sewing machine. This strategy upends traditional painting. It seems fitting for me to bend a gendered craft, and forge it into a new version of abstract painting.
