Artist
Statement
I currently
weave linen hangings that have strong
architectural elements of lines, and blocks
connected by running threads. The design is
taken to a very basic, simplified form to
allow color and material stand out. Balancing
positive and negative spaces challenges me to
create harmony within the piece. Exploring new
materials and techniques has opened up
exciting possibilities working in 3D format. I
look forward to creating new kind of textile
pieces using unusual materials.
