Artist Statement
While weaving, I meditate on the melodic drum of galloping horses resembling the percussive activation of the loom as it comes alive through me. I render fleeting moments of chaos through the form of tapestry, finding solace in the contradictions of temporality. To roam in the comfort of a herd provides safety in numbers, offering protection. On the contrary, herd mentality strips oneself of their individualism. What happens when the herd disperses?
My weavings embody the ephemerality of nature with a surreal sensibility. With age-old techniques and contemporary sentiments of tapestry, I am devising acidic dreamscapes, engaging the uncanniness of an imagined reality. Analyzing familial relationships through the motif of the horse and the scattering of a stampede, I navigate decade old traumas and themes of home, herd, and harmony. Through abstraction and woven forms I reckon with grief, retracing paths of time and symbols of comfort to promote healing.
