That's Mine  addresses the deeply cared for objects that we grow out of as we enter different stages in our lives. Stuffed animals, beloved blankets, and the materials that construct them hang together to commemorate their importance in the final Wall hanging. The slight degradation and incompletion reflects the toll of time with each new owner of the objects.
 
The soft sculpture in the piece is made with Merino top, Embroidery, Hand-dyed cottonpoly blend socks, Silkscreen dye and discharge printed patterns, Plastic toy castings, and stuffed or quilted printed fabrics.
