| Statement |
Weaving, quilting, needle arts, silkscreening, and basketry are areas of fiber I've explored over the years. My current work is a culmination of past experience with all these fiber techniques. When I first experimented with fiber, I worked in a two dimensional format. I kept finding I wanted to manipulate these flat surfaces into 3-dimensional forms. The discovery of basketry techniques enabled me to construct forms of all sizes. The next step was to cover the surfaces of these basket forms with paper.
My recent work is a natural progression of experimentation of paper on baskets. In the cocoon and transport series in this show, I reference textiles in various ways: the forms are made by casting paper on baskets, texturing with stitching and using a woodburning tool, or collaging with prints of weavings and baskets.
I like the idea of using found objects, often plastic ones, to create new shapes and to embellish them. I love to travel and hang out at Ethnological Museums–my work often reflects these experiences with other cultures. As for my philosophy, the process of creating is centering and exciting. It is important to me in my own work and when I teach, to encourage experimentation–new techniques, forms, materials, and content
