Weaving appeals to my love of problem-solving, geometry, and order.
My experience as a painter informs my work with textiles, but rather than applying a pattern or image to a separate surface, the pattern of intersecting threads actually creates the finished object. On the loom, lines become a plane. Off the loom, the plane is finished to create a three dimensional work of art.
I'm interested in exploring the tension between the precise nature of traditional handweaving and the dynamic qualities of unconventional materials and improvisational processes.
