Cloth both covers us and reveals us. Garments in their many forms recur throughout my work. I return again and again to ponder material culture and the ways age, status, and taste are carefully communicated through the silent language of cloth. I'm interested in the history of textiles and makers and the ways in which cloth conveys meaning within the context of social constraints and political pressure.
In my studio practice, I construct, deconstruct, alter, and embellish cloth to tell stories and transmit messages. Let's talk textiles! Join me for Open Studios 2024!
