'friend' 2006/2008, face detail
textile, glass eyes, resin mouth
height: 285 cm/ 11'
The needle-sculpted textile objects made between 2004 and 2011, range from 5 inches to 10 feet tall. The strange presence yet familiarity of these ‘beings’, regardless of size, age or beauty, allow viewers to explore their individual capacity for empathy.
