New Ground Work pieces in Long Island City and Park Slope, November through December
I have work in two group shows this fall. One is in my new neighborhood in Long Island City, and the other is across the river in Park Slope. Both are sales shows built around smaller work, so if you’ve wanted to buy a piece from the Ground Work series, this is the most affordable way in so far.

About the work
In case you’re new to this Stack, I make Ground Work pieces by taking secondhand clothing apart, sewing it back together, and stretching it like canvas. Once a piece is stretched I leave it alone. I don’t add paint or marks afterward. What you see is what the garments brought with them: pockets, collars, buttons, seams, and the wear from whoever owned them. At 12 inches, a single pocket or placket can set the structure of the whole piece.
If you’d like to talk about a piece or ask about prices before the openings, reply to this email. Curators: the larger 36 x 48 in. pieces and the new garment sculptures are in my studio in LIC, and I’m booking studio visits through December.
