FIBER TEXTILE WORK
I'm deeply interested in the interplay between textures, weaves, and patterns, and how they can evoke a range of emotions and sensations when physically interacted with. I explore the ways in which the tactility of fiber art can evoke memories, provoke contemplation, and elicit a sense of connection with the physical world. By carefully selecting colors and manipulating fibers, I strive to create a multisensory experience that engages the viewer's sense of touch in a profound and intimate way. Tactile experience is a focal point in my artistic practice, allowing me to explore the rich and complex interplay between texture, emotions, and the human senses.

PLEASE (DON’T) WALK ALL OVER ME!
Fall 2020
Rug Tufting, Yarn
This rug was created with a manual tufting gun that was passed down to me through generations. This peice was created for the Crossing Over show 2020 and explored how I felt in that time period. Since 2020 it has been featured in two other gallery shows, including the Fiber + Form and 50th Annual Juried Show both in 2023.
WEARABLE EMOTIONS
Fall 2022Screen printing, Found Fabric
These peices were a combination of found clothing material and screen-printed icons and patterns. I wanted to create hoodies with a futuristic aesthetic in mind and finding surprising ways the screen-printed fabric can appear. I wanted to learn how screen printing on fabric can apply to clothes and experiment with different ways to incorporate them into the fabric using pigment.
ANEW
Felt, Pool Noodles, Disco Ball Anew is a multimedia art installation that represents the interaction between the self and the creator. Anew is a manifestation of change and the process of metamorphosis. This manifesto was a reflection of the process of how I have been growing the past couple years in response to the first 20. Shifting through many versions of myself to find something new. Anew explores and represents multidimensional forces by ai art that was generated by the words in the manifesto and is reflected on a fiber sculpture.
