Parlor Pieces
Parlor Pieces, 1997 - 1998
In Parlor Pieces, pattern becomes the ghost writer of stories that embrace the melancholy of remembrance. Precious, personal objects like childhood doll house furniture become the key to unlocking a nostalgia which is at once pensive and seductive. Using pattern from these objects signifies the fragile world, the delicate and elusive state of memory and desire.
