      My statement  
    I make these aprons and garments from manipulated and stitched paper primarily because of connections they make with the tradition of hand and home made articles by anonymous women of the past, my grandmother included. I feel motivated to turn something traditionally thought of as craft and sometimes not given serious thought into an article that uses many of the same materials and processes yet is not used as a functional item. The conversations that go along with that, including what makes a work function as either craft or art or both, is interesting.
