Artist Statement
Weaving has an ancient history as both a necessary craft and an artistic medium, as do many techniques deemed “women’s work”. Exploring this type of craft in contemporary art makes me feel connected with the humanity of self expression; there is an innate draw to create and uncover beauty in everything we do. Recognizing and honoring the relationship between creation and the things that make us human reminds me to remain present in this brief existence we each have.
