"Typically I work in the format of large-scale weavings, using both the transparency and physicality of thread layered within image to create a quiet yet unavoidable body/spirit presence in space. The Forum Show has given me the opportunity to explore the elements I engage in my fiber work, specifically layering, line, and positive/negative space, on a different scale. The Systems Meditation Series is an intimate study of the intersections of natural and man-made pattern and disruption of pattern. Bricks and roots, library shelves, skin cells…these systems are reorganized, distilled into careful and curious white-on-black line drawings."
