Wearable Sculpture • Narrative Textiles • Interactive Installations • Whimsical Creatures

Concocting work that interacts with the body, I corral many media. Physically bending to the material’s imprint while impacting it with my intent, I become their expressive vehicle. Sewing machines extend my body and allow me, through a complicated dance of foot pedals, to pierce and sew.
Merging separate materials becomes a site of energy transference—the joinery—the activated point where one medium thrusts into another. These connections are not hidden. They’re where the work gets built: layered, stitched, and held in tension.
I work in sculptural textiles through layered processes and many moving parts. Encrusted objects, sewn forms, machine fragments, and salvaged materials are manipulated into sensory devices.
