ARTIST STATEMENT

​

The abstraction of themes is at the root of my image making with the aim to bring clarity, richness and spark to the stories we live everyday. Themes depicting a sense of place or life events are the impetus to the lines and forms that become integrated into the woven, dyed, printed and embroidered surfaces of my work. The weaving technique I use allows me to layer images to create an active surface.
A wide range of fibers and materials such as wire and copper are chosen to strengthen the image, texture and structure. Surface design, embroidery, quilting and felting are other processes that I employ in my work.
