Artist's Statement: "The intimacy of the image of me and my little sister caught on film by my dad, calls to mind enduring relationships, simpler times, the thirst for knowledge, the simple act of sharing a good book between friends. Cutting the image apart and reassembly it in a woven structure speaks of how the assembling of our memories makes us who we are at this moment in time."

This piece won Best In Show at the New Jersey Center for the Visual Arts Members' Show 2008. Juror: Edwin Ramoran, Director of Exhibitions of Aljira, a Center for Contemporary Art, Newark, New Jersey
"...artists like those shown here feel what they do, and worry less about how others will see them. Which rhymes rather well with this year's best in show, a photograph of a breast cancer survivor's lean torso woven in strips onto a small canvas by Daryl Lancaster. "Survivor" is all about daring others to look. Arms up, body given just a touch of contrapposto twist, "Survivor" looks for all the world like an underwear ad when you first see it. Which is, of course, the point." - Dan Bischoff, Newark Star-Ledger, Friday June 20, 2008

Pieced recycled handwoven fabric of wool, rayon, cotton, and metallic; lace; crystal drops, digital image transfers, adapted from a Burda pattern
"The Victim”, is about men and women, all of us who have allowed ourselves to become victims of others, victims of ourselves and our own toxic behaviors, victims of society and a culture that defines who we should be and does not accept who we are. I saw the most beautiful spider web early one morning stretched between the spindles of the deck railing. It was glistening with the morning dew. It was so fragile yet exquisite in it’s iridescence. Many things that lure us in are actually traps. We get caught in the trappings of life and become victims so easily. Once inside it is very difficult to escape. The spider is often used by many cultures as the original weaver or lacemaker, creating something so unique it can’t be duplicated. I love the analogy and used it here, juxtaposed to the concept of the spider waiting for her victim to become trapped in her web.
