These pieces are made with coffee filters, a resilient paper with fascinating, semilunar coffee stains. I coat the filters with methylcellulose and PVA glue to preserve them. Then I attach various other papers or fabrics with hand-stitching.

These pieces are made from envelopes cut with a blade and painted with watercolor. The paper is delicate and tears easily, but I love those wounds and imperfections.

Teabags are one of my favorite materials to work with because they are made with resilient yet transparent paper. I enjoy the stains and adhered bits of dried tea. The quilts are hand-sewn and made entirely of teabags and teabag string.

These are boxes inside other boxes, adhered, cut into, painted, stained, sanded. They remind me of Mediterranean architecture, of looking in from outside, of sun, and age, of what is private and what is not.
