Pixelate and Devastate





These are my two pieces. On the left is "Pixelate", a loom-woven, black, white and grey bead portrait of my mother, which spans 5'5" tall, just as she did. Just behind the beadwork hangs a small pendant containing a photo of myself and my brother as small children. On the right is "Devastate", a solid blood-red, loom-woven bead piece who's thread stretches out in various haphazard directions and speaks to my overwhelming anger over her death from ovarian cancer. Behind the beadwork is a small copy of her death certificate.
