You can see my visual work on the Queens Museum, Queens Artists Index. I recently participated in Decompression 2008 at Floyd Bennett Field, where I scorched, burned and melted my "Hairshirt with Long Sleeves." I was also at Figment, on Governor's Island in June and ArtSpy's "Hooked," hosted by the Queens Council of the Arts and QPTV. I've exhibited my work at the Queens Museum's, Decompression 2007, the Meat Space Gallery in L.I.C., NY, as part of the Queens Council of the Arts, Project Diversity, the Skylight Gallery in Brooklyn, and the Master Arts Gallery in Manhattan. She lives in Queens.

Info: Nancy Rakoczy is a fine artist who knits recycleable plastic bags into unique garments from nontraditional, discarded materials. The knitting process serves to convert the plastic bags from nearly invisible detritus, into objects of artistic status. Where once the form, function and texture were considered immutable, the bags’ transformation into wearable objects suggests a similar change for the wearer.
