DISCARDED

April 2023 Collection

The “Discarded” collection created April 2023 revives a set of 7 pieces found at the bottom of a basket of discarded paintings.

With fresh eyes months after starting the pieces with archival pen and watercolor, I added gold leaf and embroidery to finish them out. It’s a good reminder that sometimes pieces just need time, fresh eyes, and a few more layers before completely discarding them. This is a metaphor that can extend into many aspects of life — space often brings new perspective, learnings, revelations, and acceptance of what came before.
