Many of my digital weavings, which share a common visual language with my three-dimensional work, are developed from imagery in the sculptures and installations I construct with fine linen threads, reed, bamboo, and wood shavings. The woven images, in turn, stimulate new sculptural ideas, in a continual dialogue between the two processes of art making. Sculpture provides me with unique ways of actualizing visual ideas —sometimes as objects, at other times as participatory environments—both freestanding and suspended. In making sculpture, I enjoy relinquishing control, freely manipulating my materials and allowing concept and physical structure to be directed by the “will” of these materials—their inherent properties, flexibility, tensile strength, texture, and behavior.
