“Prone [1 of 4, My Unemployed Life series]” (2011), satin & cotton thread hand embroidery on linen, 11” x 14”,
The hand embroidered My Unemployed Life series converted a fallow time of unemployment into thoughtful, humorous works based on the trappings of the work of “not working”. The series of 4 embroideries took over a year, 6-9 hours each day, over 90,000 stitches.
