Prozac, Thorazine, Zoloft is a series of oversized antipsychotics and antidepressants pills rendered as latch hook soft sculptures. The tedious and repetitive nature of the simple craft technique provides a mind-altering placebo effect itself. The playful textile medium situates increasingly familiar pharmaceutical drugs within associations of comfort while evoking their ubiquity and proliferation in the domestic landscape.
