ARTIST STATEMENT
The detailed and time-intensive work of my recent series of embroidered web pages represent the time and energy I spend going down online rabbit holes related to my obesssive, and often religiously-tied health and body fears. “Daily Devotional” specifically relates to my strict Catholic upbringing, which has forever tied my sexuality with the shame and “wrong-ness” of unwanted pregnancy.
