This exhibition explores the interplay of real and reflected, positive and negative, warp and weft. Photographs by the artist of landscapes and cityscapes are printed onto cloth, deconstructed, and woven into textiles which are then layered and stitched into abstracted images that echo their origins. These mysterious images invite the viewer to ask what might be there… and then again, what might not.

“My artwork reflects a passion to shape order out of chaos—to start with bits of thread and create something complex and satisfying where nothing existed before. As I create, I embrace and celebrate the ancient heritage and language of cloth and the material culture that textiles inherently express. The rhythms and interplay of pattern, color and texture fascinate me, and the tactile quality of the actual fiber is extremely satisfying. I thrive on the challenges and opportunities presented to me as I move forward to explore new and interesting possibilities.”
