Exploration of repetition as a visual and constructional element that the viewer perceives as comforting or alarming. This is due to the repetitive elements found in layers and how they interact with each other visually and through movement.
Bio |
My work centers around physical and emotional manipulations and explorations. I am often an outlier looking in, observing and interpreting the behaviors of others and myself. Focusing on the process of making through repetition and iteration allows me to understand the real objective of my explorations. I create or deconstruct textiles to produce new material because it creates a unique sensory experience for the user. The textile invokes the sense of touch physically, but that sensation also enacts an emotional response. The interactive elements left for the user allows them to determine the final form and interpretation while creating a collaboration between myself, and the participant. The ultimate objective is to represent and communicate the tremendous changes in society and nature as I observe them.
