Artist’s Statement

GROWING PAINS! is a baby cradle, clad in lace and pink bows, with a motor allowing the piece to rock itself. The cradle holds molds of my teeth, which is a grotesque contrast to the silk mattress they lay on to represent the beautiful discomfort of growing up.

Artist’s Statement

Miss Jones eats spaghetti at the dinner table is one of four pieces depicting the daily routines of the beloved Miss Jones, a sentient bowling pin. It’s a snapshot of the tailend of her day. She eats her favorite dish sitting alone at a table for two.
