Framed Works

Repetition and pattern are central to my work, as is the combining of small units to build a larger image. My process involves sewing pieces of fabric together in a series of irregular stripes, slicing through the stripes crosswise, and then reattaching them out of sequence or slightly shifted. Each fabric scrap is uninteresting in itself, but is an essential contributor to the whole: their combination can’t be fully understood until the process is complete. The image presented is a cropped view of a potentially larger tableau that could continue in all directions infinitely.

Tiny events regarded in isolation may seem insignificant, but when repeated over time, a long string of events can build into enormous shifts and transformations. This process occurs on geological, ecological, physiological, social, and emotional levels.
