About this 3D model

Inspired by Doilys and double sided train station benches, Double Doily is fabricated from 1/4 powder-coated aluminum. After 9/11, I began working in a round format. My doily inspired pieces have evolved into large-scale public sculptures. My work moved from inside my studio outdoors into trees, onto concrete Jersey Barriers and into public spaces like ferry terminals, Brooklyn Streets and sculpture parks. Instead of working alone, I now collaborate with many others, public authorities, government agencies, art consultants, sculpture Parks, engineers, curators, arts administrators, fisherman, installers, fabricators, tailors and architects. My Pieces can be made from a variety of materials, aluminum, plastic, vinyl, fabric, mosaic, glass and steel. They hang, divide, adorn, and shelter referencing architecture and nature. My goal is to integrate the flavor of domestic handiwork into the built environment. Having worked with found laces and doilies for years in my studio, I needed a way to make large-scale outdoor work, translating something intimate and private into something large and public. I use computers and laser cutting technology to produce my needlework inspired artwork.
