Drawing inspiration from nature's patterns, mythological narratives, and literary worlds, I use weaving and embroidery as my primary techniques. These approaches allow me to investigate materials on my loom and give me experimental freedom. Working with the constraints of these materials brings meaning to my practice and fosters creative growth, resulting in simultaneously structured and organic textiles. In my work, I let the material live as it wants to; I simply provide it with a new means to exist.The core of my work lies in a multisensory approach that extends beyond the visual. I create vibrant, interactive pieces that invite tactile engagement with the textiles. These textiles are meant to be touched, moved through, and experienced dimensionally. This tactile dialogue between viewer and material reveals textiles' unique capacity to communicate complex ideas through direct sensory experience.I work with large-scale projects, primarily using copper wire and optic-fibers. Each material brings its own story to my practice, which leads to extensive research and testing of its limits and capabilities. I gravitate toward large-scale works because they allow me to engulf and absorb my viewers; as a short person, this reflects how I see the world, and presents my perspective.
