Tributes from Loved Clothing

I make tribute pieces from the clothing of loved ones. Several clients have had me make pieces for the wall, combining photos and small objects with scraps from clothing. Another client commissioned me to make a series of warm scarves from armfuls of knits his mother wore, everything from fine scarves to the last bathrobe they bought her. The work is always moving for me. Just going through the clothes brings up memories. The work transforms fabric into something new and makes love present.
