My work explores pattern, color, structure, line, and rhythm. Tactility, the physicality of making, the transformation of materials, and unknown outcomes are some of the guiding factors that I’m drawn to in making. I look to the natural world and the built environment for inspiration; the skeletons of buildings seen only in their beginnings and endings, interstate exchanges, cities and farms seen from above, light and shadow, sky and mist, and the pathways and systems of roots and insects. I add color and marks to fabric through dyeing, painting, printing, and stitching. Some of the colors come from plants that I grow or forage. I invite a level of uncertainty into my work by overdyeing or discharging (bleaching) the work at various stages of construction.
