My art making is fueled by an awareness that I belong to an interconnected natural world that is continually undergoing transformation. Living creatures breathe, exchanging air molecules, and the earth itself “breathes”: grasses bend in the wind, and tectonic plates slowly shift, over many eons reconfiguring continents, oceans, and climatic patterns. On a more personal scale, this awareness informs my weavings and sculptures, which speak a visual language based in the physical structures traditional to fibers. Linear elements, weave patterns, knots, netting, grids, and interlacements all provide ways of exploring recurring concerns with time, memory, and the fragility of life.
