This installation drew from childhood memories of having nightmares, terrors, and a fear of the dark. Each installation is specific to a place that was a trigger point:
Gold drawing underneath the door
Graphite drawing at the foot of the bed
Dandelion seed installation circling the bed frame
Drawing with fishing line and scotch tape on the window and window sill
Installation with gold thread and pebbles in the corner
Paper cuts and found poems with magazine pages featuring a story on wolves, installed on the closet walls
Installation of pinch pots, queen-anne's lace, and candles on the closet floor
