I am attracted in equal measure to Minimalist ideals and traditional artisan techniques; my newest work explores the intersections that become possible when these two foundations collide.  I’m looking for a balance between structure and softness, sculpture and painting, organic formations and hard edges, negative space and rich texture. 

The practice of hand-dyeing is fascinatingly unpredictable—and time consuming—every piece of twine must be continually coiled and uncoiled, dipped in various baths, stretched out to dry, sorted into color piles, and maintained carefully over the course of its transformation.  The process has a tactile nature that cannot be ignored.

 My favorite part about these pieces is that they can orient any which way.  They don’t have to be framed.  They are impossible to make prints of— each is singular.
