This piece is a spin-off of my Sticks & Stones series. Rather than drawing inspiration from name-calling and insults, I use slang drawn from multiple generations, with a particular focus on Gen Z. Each word is hand-cut from Japanese paper and stitched directly onto found photographs. The photographs, sourced from thrift shops and vintage stores, are given a new context through this intervention. I see this project as a way of offering these women a renewed life and meaning while creating opportunities for connection and dialogue across generations of women. The titles of this work is taken from the  written inscriptions found on the back of this photo which was rescued from a second hand shop. I see this project as a way to give these women new life, new meaning, and perhaps speak to more women through this project.
