“Buffy Summers #2″ (2007). 15 x 22 inches. Cross-stitched Embroidery

“Everybody Hurts” , a series of cross-stitched embroideries based on television screencaptures, explores mediated emotion. TV shows are contemporary myths, which help us to define who we are, individually and in relation to our culture. Cross-stitching a single moment from a time-based medium is an act of contemplation and commemoration. Each stitch is a badge of endurance: of the glacial process of art-making and of the pain shown in each image.
