My Foreclosed Neighborhood
2009
Photo transfer and needle work on Depression era style quilting at Walsh Gallery, Seton Hall University
approx. 3 ft x 5 ft

In 2008, two homes on either side of my newly purchased home were in foreclosure. After researching, I went onto foreclosure.com and found that 37 homes within one mile of my own home were in foreclosure, many due to predatory lending procedures. I narrowed down the list to 15 homes within 500 yards. I photographed the home, found the bank that purchased the property, transferred the photo of the property onto recycled textiles similar to depression era quilting and embellished with needlework.
