CURRICULUM VITAE

Artist Statement

When I look around, I notice the tactile quality of the world.

I am fascinated by the necessary planning and precision in textile making, as well as the careless, fast way of manipulating various mediums on a large scale.

Drawing inspiration from the world around me, I convert collected content from photographs and sketches into a variety of materials. Using traditional techniques like embroidery, weaving, tufting, and several printing forms, I playfully create tension by mirroring the complexities of the spaces we inhabit. The rawness and flaws of materials and processes offer valuable data and information that I incorporate into my research and practice.

By patching and layering these tangible, visual elements, I transform them into material experiments that collect and compare individual and communal stories.
