Fiber Art

I typically work privately and slowly on my hooked rugs, however I have recently enjoyed exhibiting my work as part of an artistic action that documented the time and labor involved. Many of us nurture private artistic engagements which are extremely valuable to us.

Claiming time and space to experience a reflective, restorative state while working slowly, I create for myself, defying capitalistic and patriarchal expectations and standards. The idea that art must be shared or sold to be justified is patently untrue.

Photography

As an extension of my research, I started to photograph the fibers and textiles that I am drawn to handle and work with. To explore “what my hands see,” I use a digital camera, handheld, and look at the material through a macro lens (no filter). I continue to discover landscapes that are, paradoxically, surprising and familiar.
