Embroidery, for me, is hyper-vigilant and obsessive. I push the boundaries of my “too muchness” in my pieces to provide a creative outlet for otherwise inwardly damaging impulses. The pieces in this exhibit explore different sides of that compulsion to act and think repetitively; if the clichéd definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results, my embroidery allows me to push through my depression, anxiety, and obsessive tendencies by doing the same thing over and over again—stitching—with vastly different results.
