Turning Point, Turning Point
Rattan Reed, fabric, encaustic wax, cotton string and adhesive. 44H x16W x14D
I create biomorphic organisms that appear to be communicating human-like emotional needs (nurture). These newly formed organisms represent a new questionable species conjured in my studio by cross-breeding insects, birds, fish and vegetation. Their skeletal hulls revealing germ, the pending emergence of new life from chrysalis. The ectoplasm now peeling away from the dystopian structure, miraculously composed of metal, revealed (x-rays).

Possibilities, 2017
Commercial fabrics, silk organza, netting, silk and cotton thread 48"W x 60"H
This piece was inspired by a trip to Morocco, and my interpretation with their concept of "bare requirements" necessary to build community. The necessary five are community: fountain, oven, bath, madressa (school), and mosque. Using Bojagi renders finished seams on both back and front. These seams, with the shadows that they cast, blend into a kind of network. When the piece sways in a breeze the quivering roadmap pattern felt appropriate to convey a sense of shifting possibilities when visiting a city for the first time.

This group of works is an ongoing series of playful explorations of form and texture. Some refer to objects in the known world, while others are purely abstract. The grouping is meant to provoke visual connections between forms, textures and processes.
