Common Threads is a series of hand-embroidered unique canvas books which copy the form and design of dime-store ‘composition books’. The books themselves, self-consciously hand-made objects, are a record of coincidental occurrences generally gleaned from reading or mundane events. The use of embroidery thread allows for the production of the text and image with the same mark and material, to make the text, image, and substance of the book inseparable.
