Statement
I am an artist when I contemplate and explore my place in the world – my connectedness and my humanity – through the practice of creating visual objects. The binary language of weaving and digital design provide the platform to discover and reveal new forms of beauty and meaning through the relationships of shapes, lines, colors and materials. The constructions I make are intended to mark a poetic place along our shared continuum. Using weaving to exercise the metaphors inherent in the process, I acknowledge the timeless and universal interest in creating patterns and seeking order. Moreover, the haptic familiarity of cloth and the decorative overtones evident in each weaving invite viewers to consider the expressive implications created by the topography of dynamic networks.
