While I ponder the miracle of life, I can’t help but wonder about the physical connections between my own children. This research has led me to think about our fingertips. As the tiny developing fingers grow, they start to feel their way around the mother’s womb. The pressures on a baby’s fingers construct the ever-lasting impressions that become our fingerprints. These notions of our journey within the womb informs my new series of functional forms.
