This work was created in conjunction with The Faces of Politics: In/Tolerance exhibition at the Fuller Craft Museum during the spring and summer of 2016.

I took the fabric strips that were a part of the programming aspect of my installation focused on gun violence in America. Each individual crocheted soft sculpture represents a child (age 0-17) killed by a gun in 2015. A total of 823 children were represented on the wall.

I began this work by writing down the names of every child represented on the wall. I then took the fabric and crocheted it together to form a wall hanging to honor this group of kids.

I knit these children and their families together in order to highlight the epidemic of gun violence in our country.
