My work, light and changeable, shifts in space and tone, altering the viewerâs perception both of the object and the surrounding space. I use the qualities of light, color, form, and texture to give outer shape to emotions and ideas from my inner world. Repetitive physical processesâsuch as wire crochet, walking, or castingâ ground the work in daily rhythms. Incremental accumulationâof stitches, of photographs, of objectsâadds up to a body of work and the days of a life.Â
Sac represents the need for spiritual protection. Golden in color and flexible in shape, it shimmers in the light and fits over my entire body. Stitched over hours of waiting up, waiting on, and waiting in, Sac is both armor and cocoon.
