Lady Stardust Photograph

Lady Stardust, 2022 15 images of photographs handy dyed in indigo and hand embellished with linen threads and sequins. Framed in walnut on archival mat with plexi. The title refers to a David Bowie song but also what I named the sheep pictured in the photograph. Another one of them I fondly named Lady Gaga and BaBaa O'Riley after the Who song. You will notice a British naval insignia on that one embellished in sequins. This was truly an example of me letting myself go creatively in my studio and having fun. The images are all what I loved, shot on location in the mid-coast of Maine which I am obsessed with. These artworks are photographs of what I saw but also about capturing joy. Images of floating petals in water, deep green algae, crisp fall apples, and sparkling blue waters—are hand-sewn together to tell my stories in the form of quilts. Within this long tradition of quilting and "women's work", I take pride in joining this legacy of story telling through craft and needlework. Woven in each stitch, and every hand-dyed fold, my photographs represent a hopeful future while continuing a rich history of women made art and exploring the boundaries of what is a photograph.
