About the Artist

As a mixed media artist, I presently focus on fibers and textiles. I am in love with process and the rich language of technique and expression found in the fiber arts. Whether dyeing, felting, dissolving, or melting, textiles connect me to these forces on a conceptual level, so that how I make an object is vital to its meaning. At the moment, I focus heavily on thread, an elemental material normally used to hold everything else together.

I am influenced by the passing down of handcraft from one generation to another and strive to re-contextualize traditional craft. A wide range of interests, such as astrophysics and yogic philosophy, provide ample fodder for a contemporary take on the historical practices inherent to fibers and textiles.
