My current body of work, ‘Hanging By A Thread' is my visceral response to what has been currently happening in our political arena. Like our society, there are many layers of fabric and paint in my art. The stitching adds depth and personality as does each person in our country. Some of the underlying layers show through to the front to remind us of our personal histories and who came before us.
