"Spirit Messengers" Recently completed sculpture by Bebe
Needlepoint that has been transformed into a completely different realm. Instead of using the traditional needle, embroidery thread and canvas; I use an exacto knife, shredded paper and perforated aluminum. I hand form the shape. Next I shred color plates from a book on modern art to use as my pallet to make the imagery. Using a knife I weave the shreds into the metal, repeating this process thousands of times. It’s a meditative process in selecting each piece. I want the end result to create a multi-sensory experience for the viewer.

Shoe Sculpture Series
I thrive on experimenting with different and unconventional materials. In this case I used repurposed telephone wire. I’ve created a series of shoe sculptures using the ancient textile technique of knotless netting. The process is laborious and it involves passing the full length of the wire through each loop. This weaving process is very meditative and it allows me to absorb the thought process of each piece. My sculptural art is not only contemporary but expands of boundaries of this ancient technique.
