The Tall Women series pays homage to all women, no matter their height, who stand tall even in the face of adversity. I use parts and pieces like eyes, shoes, and hands from current day and vintage media, combining them to make new characters. In 2022, I planned on making only one tall woman from a 60î board I found in my garage, but it grew to a collection of 20 within the year (9 sold). During this time, I witnessed many female friends and family members experiencing set backs with their health, families, and homes yet they continued to stand tall through it all. Throughout the year, as the series grew, I collected wood from the lumber yard and gathered various papers for the character's adornments and clothes. With each new piece, a tall woman with a unique personality emerged. They began to represent a diverse group of women, portraying the women I know, impersonating my family and ancestors, and revealing women we all know. Women who stand tall.
