ARTIST STATEMENT
Combining my knowledge of ikat dyeing and weaving techniques with my love of ethnic textiles, I have developed a hand-stitching style which is simultaneously complex in structure yet simple in execution to create bold graphic imagery. I love utilizing ordinary household materials to create the extraordinary. I am intrigued with layering various techniques which give you unexpected results. While my pieces may appear woven, they are actually stitched, therefore, beguiling most viewers.
