From the Continuing Herself Series, 1972, Master's Thesis, University of Dallas. Life sized, Herself Wed is mixed media, mostly hand sewn cloth, with a clay face. Note the pink hearts on her cheeks. The Bride's bones were created with a metal and wood armature and her individual muscles, pads of cotton and muslim, were hand sewn onto the armature to build up the necessary volume. Her body and clothes are stitched similar to a quilt and a heart theme is carried throughout. She is holding a bouquet of pink felt hearts, surrounded by lace and she sits dreamily on a church pew.
