YARN BASED WORKS

These are my yarn based works! I crochet, knit, and spin :)
A long term goal of mine is to eventually get to a point where I only work with yarn that I've spun myself!!

‍

memories made permanent
‍‍2026
various measurements ranging from 14-25 x 15-27 inches
a series of 9 crochet tapestries

Using childhood photos from family and friends, I crocheted 9 photo realistic tapestries to give to them. I asked each person for a chidhood photo of themself that they liked and made the tapestry. Then, the tapestries were gifted to my family and friends, as a way of giving back for all their support throughout the years. (documentation of the tapestries in their new homes coming soon...)

27 x 13 x 13 inches
yarn, thrifted stool, thrifted buttons & beads, and polyfil

Reversible yarn bombing on a stool. Words embriodered on the top of the stool read as follows:
brown side: "i have something to say..."
purple side: "but i keep it all inside."

You Call Yourself A Friend? (STEP ON ME)
‍2025
48 x 17 inches
repurposed yarn from thrifted sweater, hand spun yarn, wool

Contrasting to normal welcome mats, this rug is playful at first, then turns aggressive as you comprehend the text. While this was a personal piece, referencing a fragment of a journal entry, it's also relatable to the viewer as well.

hand spun yarn + rope samples
2024
raw wool, assorted commercial yarn

Things You Don't Know

6.5 x 11 x 4 inches
yarn, ribbon, cotton fabric, embroidery floss, & safety pins

This crochet book listing things my parents don't know about me. In my first semester of college, I was fully away from my parents and realized how much they didn't know about me and put all of those feelings into this book

Thank You For Shopping
2023
yarn, fabric, clothing tags, leather, zipper, & yarn from a thrifted sweater
‍
This work focuses on the idea that fast fashion brands steal from small businesses and the overproduction of garments is a large issue. We should refrain from giving large corporations our money and instead spend a little bit more to support slow fashion

"Crochet Machine"
2022
yarn, embroidery floss, & metal crochet hooks
‍
This life size work focuses on the idea that fast fashion is making crocheted items for cheap. Many people believe that since there are knitting machines, there are also crochet machines. This work was meant to fight that idea and appear a little threatening with the crochet hooks at the bottom.

LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE DONE
2022
18 x 45 inches
yarn

This work focuses on how society's expectations and social media have affected young people’s minds. Everyone thinks they have to be perfect and society keeps telling us what the standards are. The words at the bottom are lyrics from a song called Pasta by New Rules, which forces you to think about standards society has set for us.
