Remains of the Night, 2011, thread on stained tablecloth, 68" x 70"
The piece is a tablecloth presented on a simple table-base. The tablecloth itself becomes sculpture and memorializes events and accidents through embroidered delineation of spills and stains.

An electric blanket has been cut open to remove the wiring, which is then stitched in place in the center of the piece. The incisions left from the removal of the wiring have been sutured shut with black thread. Stains on the blanket are also delineated with stitching.
