"A collection of small, handmade, thematic purses that are woven, sewn, hooked, embroidered, and worked, using a diversity of materials and textile arts techniques. Each piece is exquisite in composition and construction with wit and satire underscoring each theme."
Canadian Craft Museum
 
"They are like three-dimensional political cartoons, registering the artist's anger and dismay over a number of contemporary issues."
