The Inconvenience Store (Showfields NoHo May-June 2023) is a collection of memories stitched into fiber sculpture. Everyone viewing the show should recognize some piece of themselves of their past in this collection of well-loved goods. Beloved products are rendered into fiber art with up-cycled yarns through crochet, sewing and embroidery. - a painstaking process, thus the inconvenience of this convenience store.
