Artist Statement
I am a multimedia textile maker. I make intuitive and meditative process-based work, influenced by my personal heritage as a descendant of craftsmen. By engaging in craft processes I enact the appreciation of my familial forebears without accepting compromise regarding my identity or motives, and my senses—most notably touch—become a catalyst and means through which I can research heritage, family, and gender.
I have little interest in predetermined meaning; instead, I encourage the viewer to superimpose or speculate meaning as they wish; there is great value in any and all conversations and modes of sociality that occur in relation to my work.
Thus my work exists in a liminal space, and I revel in this ability of my materials to exist continually upon the precipice of meaning, always looking a bit like something else.
