I use paper and foraged textiles and objects as springboard and language in my work.

 

I make book-ish structures, sculpture, weaving, painting, shrines, chair portraits, invented alphabets, printing and dying with rust and weeds, sculpture and mobiles using Colorado mine relics. My pieces revolve around the secret languages of the land, playing with scale, balance, and weight, a fascination with ordinary objects (the sacred clothespin), and vintage french lingerie and textile patterns.

​

I study the repression/freedom of women through women's work, fashion, size, motherhood and self-harm, using antique clothing, fairy tales, poetry, myth and symbol.

​

My process is a balance of depth, fragility, hidden-ness/transparency and movement.
