Layering
The ideas, experiences, and stories bound within a knitted piece, a scarf, are the subject of this work. The yarn itself has an origin story, and the act of knitting marks the passage of time. As I work on and wear a piece, my experiences are knitted into the fabric and are intertwined with the yarn’s own story. The knitted piece is a vessel, holding stories and experiences, for a specific period of time, for later introspection. The fibers link ideas and experiences I continue to explore on canvas.
Silhouettes
In the Silhouette series, I reflect on how the weave and layering of our individual stories frame our interpretations and responses to the same events. Our narrative fabrics are works-in-progress, constantly evolving as they unravel, layer, tear, and mend through our lived experiences.

Silos
The Silos series considers how we choose to occupy space within our landscape and how our collective fabric begins to fail as groups cluster around identity at the expense of interconnectedness. Intentionality must be given to building a connective community fabric, or the fabric of our shared experiences becomes increasingly threadbare.

Chair
The Chair series examines the origins of the yarn from raw materials to yarn, and then into a scarf. Through a still life composed of the literal raw materials of the yarn and the scarf itself, I meditate on the complex relationship between natural materials and the systems that form them into products for craft. This includes the historical exploitation associated with cotton and the textile industry in the American South.
