My two and three-dimensional fiber and paper works are an ongoing investigation into inherent connectivity as I explore the balance between fragility and strength materially and conceptually. Fiber provides lasting comfort and references the women in my life whose strength and resilience are woven into the fabric of their experience; this fiber holds a deep connection to their stories and histories and, by extension, my own.
The work exists within three overarching frameworks: weight, waveform, and grid. Weight refers to the gravitational force that governs physical reality and the epigenetic weight carried by the material I use. Waveform reflects the reverberation of energy, capturing the fluid and uncertain space between interactions, where all potentialities exist. The grid is a universal structure that provides order, housing interconnected compartments, and the spaces between them.
Integrating wire, paper, and fiber is central to my practice. I re-contextualize these materials to create nets, fiber paintings, and installations. Within them, themes of mending, reassembly, and the negotiation between wholeness and fragmentation emerge. My works transform wounds and scars into symbols of healing and unity while exploring deeper societal questions about fragmentation, connection, and belonging.
