30 DAYS

30 DAYS is a set of mixed-media collages constructed using vintage Betty Crocker recipe cards, road maps, vellum, embroidery, ink, paint, cyanotype, prescription information sheets, medical detritus gauze, hospital bracelets and wire. Over the course of 30 days in 2021, I wove the medical detritus into the vintage recipe cards, mirroring how — as a mother and primary caregiver with chronic illness — I must weave my own needs into the expectations of domestic life.
