Provence

Lacoste, France

Featuring the local colors and materials of Provence, I’m working with natural dyes, pigments, and yarns to create these larger than life sculptural woven and wrapped works.

Los Angeles

California

Working in porcelain, jute, raffia, sand & wood, the current incarnation has evolved into ceremonial & totemic feeling works. The weaving traditions that in many cultures are used to tell stories are incorporated & embellished. There is a sense of pageantry in this work, with many of the pieces taking on a mask like quality while also strongly grounded in the tangible materials in which they’re constructed.

Oaxaca

Mexico

This collection weaves together my experiences in the Mojave, Sonoran, & Chihuahuan Deserts that I’ve explored extensively over the past few years. It relates the desert’s dryness, distinct palette, openness, transparency, & unknowability using techniques of reflection, obscuring, & suspension of movement.

Linen, merino, & cotton are accented with cochineal, porcelain, & various earth pigments that highlight the texture & dimensionality of a pebbled knot or stitch, transforming a canvassed piece at large. Weaving, wrapping, & knotting are complimented by hand building with porcelain & stoneware to express my perception of the Mirage.

San Francisco

California

My work is on the continuum of dialogue between the grid & its manifestations as form, content, & medium through threads, weaving, & painting. I utilize the power of the materials to construct architectural frames from which to build weighted objects in space, which can be examined in this body of work inspired by my California home.

Blönduós

Iceland

During my residency at the Icelandic Textile Centre, I created larger-than-life moveable sculptures, created on & off the loom, using local materials such as wool, N1 cotton threads, & foraged plant material. These large sculptural weavings interact with space both outside in the wilderness & inside the gallery walls & are supported by smaller, notebook sized, daily responses, embroidered, woven, & drawn, that reflected my learning & experience.

Savannah

Reticulation: MFA Thesis

The grid is analyzed with both weaving & painting in relationship to artists Anni Albers, Agnes Martin, Sheila Hicks, & myself in the ways that the grid manifests between form, content, & medium through process, hand, & material. The work in my thesis exhibition, titled Reticulation, is described & explored as the culmination for my own thoughts & explorations.
