At a time when it seems much of our "social fabric" is unraveling and the "social safety net" is fraying, the idea of gathering, combining and weaving together discarded or under-valued materials and art pieces - to give them new life and spotlight - became a focus and a priority for me, as an artist.

Two pieces not visible in the installation photographs: Laurel's Fave was above the door at the entrance to the exhibition space; the door, like Bali & Coletta, was located to the right of the Mi-Teintes Weaves
