Medicine is still in progress, with the hope to be completed in the upcoming weeks. Meanwhile I have been distracted with my ‘human pincushions’, the newest addition of the ill series.

They are so fun and challenging to create.
Each one was screen printed in two sections that have to line up perfectly in order to create such a large image. Then comes lots of needle work!
I don’t think there is anything more wonderfully creepy than sewing and stuffing a pillow the happens to be a life-size self portrait.
A friend shot this photo of me holding one in downtown Minneapolis.
The plan is to make three “pillows” in a variety of color combinations. Check back soon to see the finished project!
