Artist Statement

Textiles, pattern, and power relationships drive my studio work. I explore the world through woven fabric, constructed thread by thread, infused with color from plant and mineral sources. Inherently a slow process, I wind lengths of thread to become warp yarns, secure them around a frame to bind the desired pattern, immerse them in mordant and dye solutions so they can achieve a specific color, remove the binding to free the threads so finally I can transfer them to the loom to weave a fabric, inserting the weft yarn, row by row. Sometimes I work with other materials for more immediate realization of work, for example digitally cut vinyl to create multi-color wall installations, and cut-up polyester women’s slacks to create wall drawings. I also collaborate with Jay Kreimer on sculpture, sound, and textile installations.
