Greek Flags

March 2025-ongoing

When my yiayia Niki immigrated to the US, she found work as a seamstress, retiring in 2011 from her last role in an American flagmaking factory. Since then, I have inherited her industrial sewing machine and sewing notions. Below are experiments from an ongoing series exploring non-traditional and traditional methods of flagmaking. I am working with Greek flags and her tools as a way to pay homage to our country and her brilliant tenure as a craftswoman.
