Not All the Time
Not All the Time pairs text from the memoir The Invisible Kingdom by Megan O’Rourke and mundane everyday objects related to my health that I decontextualized through making blind contour drawings and then stitching them. This process allowed me to make new shapes and meanings and to find beauty and humor in objects that I depend on daily, which also gave me a deeper appreciation for them.

Not All the Time, 2022, hand embroidery and appliqué on cotton, 36-page textile book, 12 x 12 x 2 in.
