“The purple at the bottom of the piece is the ribbon that wrapped my birthday cake from my Zumba Gold class @ the Y. ” - Flo 10/31/2015

In 2015, Flo was diagnosed with chronic pain, and she begins attending Kaiser pain management sessions. She starts her Knitted Pain Project, knitting with scraps of ribbon, lace, yarn and saved plastic mesh netting from packages that once held rice stick noodles, tangerines, lemons, limes etc. “This series is a metaphor for the chronic pain I am experiencing from having a pinched nerve.” Flo titles the series, “Mara, Dropped Stitches are Okay.”
