These little bombshells represents the exasperation + anger inside all of us.
They are knitted, knotted, bound, coiled, cinched + sewn into this uncomfortable organ-like shape. They are the pit in your stomach.
Using divergent materials such as yarn, cassette tape, upholstery fabric, discarded clothing, ric-rac and thread, I bind and coil, cinch, sew, and truss these little bombshells into awkward shapes to symbolize the physical embodiment of internal rage. Each bombshell sculpture personifies an individual expression of the daily stresses and frustrations we accumulate and push down into a tightly bound knot of smoldering fury. These soft sculptures represent the 16 million Americans affected by IED and the exasperation and anger we all feel but desperately try to control and hide.
