sacred cloth
I receive heirlooms and materials that hold meaning to their owner, and from this I create one-of-a-kind ritual and memory pieces — a Tallit to wear, a Challah cover for the table, artwork for the wall, pillows and table linens pieced from a wedding dress. Each piece is sacred to the person who carries it.
The process begins with listening. I sit with someone's cloth — a garment, a fabric, a piece carrying memory or history — and learn what it holds before I ever cut into it. Together we shape what the new piece will become: their wishes, their memories, what they want to carry forward. Alongside that, I bring my own aesthetic language — the same layering, stitching, and piecing that runs through the rest of my work — so the finished piece is neither purely theirs nor purely mine, but something made between us.
