I’ve been a maker for many years, but I have just recently begun vending locally as Pareidolia Creations. I make mask chains (for respirators), earrings, necklaces, cards, and postcards. Pareidolia describes the phenomenon of perceiving faces and patterns where they were not originally intended. In this spirit, as a disabled maker, I repurpose "ordinary" and thrifted materials in my work as a practice of repair, a way of seeing possibility and joy in the mundane. I remix found scraps to design stationary not just for celebratory occasions, but also for quiet moments informed by chronic illness, grief, isolation, and stubborn hope. I’m inspired my small acts of care—and I hope these goods offer people another accessible tool for connecting with each other and cultivating community care, even across distance.
