Imma Sucker for You

The first moment when I knew I wanted to stitch some suckers was on a road trip. Stopping at a small padstal, as one does, to refill on chips, cooldrinks, pies, and other snacks kept exclusively for cars and long drives, I spotted a box of Fizz Pops. The nostalgia flooded in, reminding me of how the lollipop wears the wrapper like a cape. Cream Soda flavored superheroes, with secret sherbert centers hidden behind flavored glass and the ability to cut your tongue, its weapon.

Exhibited at the @rupertmuseum in 2022.

Stitched on linen, framed in kiaat.
