Cozy Unicarpellate Fruit Follicle combines an interest in mutant plants, hideouts, and puffy costumes to create a secure and private space based on the structure of the milkweed plant. It is primarily designed for escape – but the versatile pod can be an avenue for dramatic entries, embarrassing exits, unpleasant surprises, and occasional naps. Not recommended for anyone who suffers from claustrophobia.
My work primarily revolves around reinventing or re-imagining found objects I collect. I use scale, repetition and exaggeration to investigate the object, and then transform it into something that is both inviting and protective. I want to insert myself - sometimes literally - into the objects that have become the subject of my attention. |
