statement

I construct fictional alternate realities that conjure the cycles of time to peer into built and natural environments, bringing together research and personal exploration. 

These places are vague and undefined, dreamlike and not perfectly reflected.
They are (sometimes) only seen through haze and cracks.
They are the peculiar sensation of knowing something unknown. 

Repetitive processes - weaving, printing, stitching - craft these alternate views, slowly building each thread by thread, layer by layer, and color by color. The rhythm creates a place for reflection and speculation, offering parallels between

rigidity / flexibility

natural / artificial

growth / destruction

motion / stillness
