“Through energetic acts of accumulation that involve sewing, gluing, cutting and sculpting, the artist turns military surplus jumpsuits and humble, craft supplies into opulent celebrations of the senses and the joy of living.”- Steven Litt, The Plain Dealer. This exhibition is organized by the CMA and is on view at Transformer Station.
