Continuum I, II, III
The thread is my lifeline, informing my fingertips and tying my body to place. I am born and raised in the Northeast, trained to weave in Japan, and have lived most of my life in the American Southwest. These disparate places find connection in the woven fabric that is my art, the internal reflections of landscape. Wit woven ikat as my “paintbrush”, Continuum I,II,III is a study of our native Southwestern sandstone. Nature’s shifting elements etched in the stone’s layered fascia reveal the bands of time. Likewise, in threads dyed and woven, my essence is set in stone.
