artwork

I traverse the boundaries of logic and spirit in my textile sculptures, quilts, and prints. The central element of my investigation is communicating through patterns. My work engages an expansive set of techniques, including digital surface design, woodblock printmaking, silkscreen printmaking, digital embroidery, quilting, folding, and sewing. Ornamentation takes on a significant psychological dimension in my work.

PROJECTS

My interdisciplinary and often collaborative design projects explore links between craft and technology. The materiality projects center on embellishment, exploring links between patterns in nature, semiotics and the history of ornamentation. Signaling through pattern and symbol is a central element of my inquiry. As is the way in which tools and technology impact the formulation of meaning in material form.
