Available baskets in the new Stonington Collection are now posted in my web shop!
The Stonington Baskets series is created with potwarp (long lines used to hold lobster traps) that I gathered on Deer Isle, Maine, in 2021. The town of Stonington at the southern end of Deer Isle is one of Maine’s largest lobster fisheries. I spent summers there with my grandparents for my entire life.
I first learned to make these baskets years ago during a visit to Deer Isle, using my grandmother’s sewing machine, inspired by the colorful bits of potwarp I found tangled in the kelp at the shoreline.
1000 Moons

Schedule of events + project launch video
1000 Moons is an art installation and grief process of 1000+ hand-formed paper moons, representing every full moon cycle witnessed by my grandmother from her birth to her death. 1000 Moons envisions a lifetime as a tangible space where viewers can locate themselves within the full span of another life.
