Artist Statement

I choose to work with fiber as my medium for its tactile and sculptural qualities. For me, fiber is the line between two and three dimension. My work is created in two dimension, but it has three-dimensional aspects in the quilted stitching line, the natural wrinkling and subtle puckering of the fabric. The near impossibility of making a straight line appeals to me and yet at the same time, it is aggravating.

I am drawn to opposites and contrasts. My interest in the soft malleable quality of fabric is in direct contrast to my interest in geometry and architecture. This dichotomy is expressed in my work through the tentative balance between the hard edge and the soft edge, the painterly and the graphic.
