artwork
Exploring the psychological depth of decorative language, my fiber works and prints merge botanical imagery with principles of symmetry. I engage an expansive set of surface design techniques, including woodblock printing, digital print, silk-screen, embroidery, and quilting. Through repeats and reflections, I abstract flora and fauna to create personal symbols and surface patterns for folded geometric sculptures.
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.
