For several years, I contributed to the Masks Fundraiser at the Museum of Art in Fort Collins, CO. I worked with found materials including fabric, wood, broken computer parts, and even greenery and leather. I was a fun challenge to build something unexpected from overlooked or maybe even items that would be otherwise discarded. Some pieces were wired to light up; others leaned into texture and shadow.

In more recent years, I collaborated with my daughter on the project. While the results varied, it was a meaningful way to share creative time together and explore new ideas. Each mask became its own experiment in transformation — part sculpture, part story.
