2016 - 2022
Being is a series of work that represents an extremely personal and ongoing journey of self-discovery. I re-purpose my collection of found textiles and domestic objects and imagine a new story for them. They are given a second life through the combined use of various fiber techniques, such as immersion dye, pattern making, sewing, crochet, weaving, knitting, upholstery, embroidery, and more. Only through this process of repeatedly taking things apart and putting them back together anew, am I able to navigate the human experience in a way that makes sense to me. Every stitch is a cathartic and tangible expression of my collaboration with life. Through this process, I find peace.
