The Hidden Archive (2015) is a collection of eleven drypoint prints. Each print was inspired by different textile pieces from the Department of Textiles at the Art Institute of Chicago that have never been exhibitioned. The documenting of this wide range of textiles was done in a traditional method as a response to the online cataloguing of the museum's collection. The series is presented in an archival box with sheets of glassine placed in between each piece.
