My process begins when I encounter fabrics that are sourced from family and friends. The tactile experience of touching the fabrics can lead to an intimate, thoughtful meditation when I ponder the history of a garment. Who wore or used this? Where were they going or what were they doing when they used it? I may cut the fabric into long continuous thread, draw onto it, or sew it into a wearable sculpture. Dense forms and linear elements take shape as I let the qualities of the materials guide me. The improvisational aspect of my practice allows unpredictability to prosper.
