I began using
onion skins because of their fragility and subtle intricacies. The
process of gathering and physically constructing objects from onions
has become nearly as important as the works themselves. By stitching
the skins together I reveal their connotations, how we relate to onions
physically and emotionally. My objects share the intimacy I experience
while sewing—forms associated with being held close.
