Navigating the transition from winter to spring by making this tote of all-season colors from scraps of my 2025 projects. (Still don't know what colors I am.)

Shoulder Seasons Scrap Bag

Bubble wrap, plastic packaging, grosgrain ribbon, thread

Functional fruit basket made by hand-processing over six layers of plastic waste (bubble wrap, shipping and food packaging) and then cutting and hand-sewing to use all material in the finished product.


Shelf Stable Fruit Basket

Single-use plastic packaging

Plastic collage made from food packaging, wrappers, and shopping bags from Tokyo, Japan. Experimenting with different types of plastic melted at different temperatures resulted in manipulation of the original material via warping and "lace"-making.


Tomato To-Go

Material research on upcycling soft plastic waste: melted, molded, sculpted & sewn.
