"GAGS", 2014-15
digital print, front and back page of scanned embroidery on vintage pornographic magazine
unframed, each: 36 x 28 1/4 inches​
Embroidery is such a sexy medium. Where else have women been permitted to penetrate repeatedly, and all by themselves no less? A soft art, and considered to be feminine in nature, sewing also contains a violent potential which is not usually associated with the "fairer sex". 

Exhibited at The Works at McCauley in Edmonton, AB, between March 5-14, 2015 for the exhibition "Transmutation"; Robert Lynds Gallery in Vancouver, B.C. between August 6-September 5, 2015.
