Memory XIII is included in the exhibition Tributary: Students and Kathleen Browne at
Kent State University's Downtown Gallery running April 18th-May 31st, 2025. I received my B.F.A from Kent State back in 2006, concentrating in Jewelry, Metals, and Enameling. My time at Kent State was the start of my career spanning pursuit of combining crochet with other art and craft materials and techniques, resulting in works like Floral Neckpiece and influencing my current work.

First artwork of 2025!
The latest piece from the Memory series, Memory XXII is 24in X 18in unframed. Like all works in this series, it was created by spraying acrylic paint through found vintage and antique crochet doilies. After applying the paint, I then stitched through and crocheted on top of the paper with found fiber. While I've been working on this series for a few years now, the visible needle stitches in this piece are unusually more delicate and small compared to the way I've typically handled them in the past.
I use the same materials and processes for these works, however each one still elicits different and adapting responses from me as I engage with each separate composition.
