I weave as a response to the built environment. The grid provides essential structure to both the city and woven cloth. Through observation of the urban environment, I utilize weaving and printing to create responsive artworks that embrace the temporal qualities of our fabricated environments and offer parallels between natural and synthetic, stable and decrepit, and strength and fragility. By dissecting this environment, I am organizing, analyzing, and constructing works to better understand place. Loose threads extend like grass growing in concrete cracks. Minimal forms constructed line by line harken to modern architecture. Neon threads glare like construction signs while subtle colors nod to the skies.
