My pieces are fiber constructions which I create by layering and knotting individual elements. I am enclosing space while exploring a balance between natural and found objects as well as flat and curved surfaces. I strive for simple, yet strong forms, often emphasized by the static order of a willow and/or tamarisk grid structure, and the natural color of the materials. I am attracted to paper and the process of making it because the meshing and bonding of individual fibers create a strong yet pliable substance rich in texture. I enjoy slight, tactile imperfections and often emphasize them for their organic beauty. Found objects in the form of rusted metal find their way into my work because I value the past and its remains, for they provide insight to the present and connections to the future. |
