I did not want these handmade sewing materials to be discarded. Using a rough, weaving basket as a loom, I used paper dress patterns and scrap fabric to revalue and reframe those materials. The process was a meditation. Because I was on the beach, I wanted to recreate the layered rock that soothed me. The assemblage is wrapped in aurora film, which creates a prism when placed in the sun. Human beings are always healed and helped by nature.
