Cookies

Here's some recent work. These Cookies are nice and smooth and feel good in the palm of your hand.

These Cookies are made not for the mouth or stomach but for the hand. They don’t resemble standard cookies because they serve a different purpose. From my hands to the viewer’s, they represent the care involved in making and sharing cookies. Typically this moment is a fleeting one; the cookie is given and then consumed. In this case, the exchange is given more time because said cookie lives on.

Crafting Place

“Crafting Place: Interpretations of Natural and Constructed Environments from the Kitchen to the Forest.” Sugar gallery announces an exhibition to be held May 6th through June 5th in Bentonville, Arkansas. Juror: Kenneth Trapp former Curator-in Charge of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Two of my pieces were accepted in this show! (My clay Living Room and Kitchen)

Quilt Images

The first two images are actually of the back of this quilt, but the white on white stitches are hard to read, so I'm showing the front in the last few images.


Growing up, when I visited my grandmother, we would bake chocolate chip cookies in her kitchen. Late in life she started losing her memories due to Alzheimer’s.  As her namesake it was particularly poignant when she forgot exactly how to bake our cookies. Eventually Grandma forgot everything and everyone. As the younger Mary I fear one day forgetting these memories of her. These stitches of white on white depict the kitchen she eventually forgot.

Stitches map the space, and the act of stitching is an act of remembering.
