ARTWORK

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed using a variety of traditional craft techniques—yarn painting, rug hooking, punch needle, embroidery, sewing. The works are tactile contemplations.

I make work that asks me to slow down and be transformed by the making. To sculpt is, for me, to take responsibility for what I give form to—both inwardly and outwardly. It is a practice of reclamation, recollection, and re-imagination.

My work unfolds through a practice of what I feel are my essential “3 Rs”—not reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic, but rhythm, ritual, and record.

The Rhythm A return to a more natural pace where my attention can settle and I can become receptive.

The Ritual A showing up repeatedly to create the space for what wants to emerge.

The Record Each artwork feels both an artifact and an offering —evidence of a release (a literal changing of the record) and a transmutation that has occurred and it's voicing.
