We flow in as violently and pull out as gently of each other’s lives like waves against the rocks.
Together for a moment– some days, some a lifetime– but never one.
Our weaving is a masterpiece, but sometimes it’s hard to see when we’re too close up.

I’m attempting to create beauty out the little I have, a reflection of how I felt after experiencing a series of traumas and financial crises, and consequent food and housing insecurity.

Everything in my life felt like chaos so I desired simplicity and symmetry, centeredness and peace. I wanted to make but couldn’t afford fancy art supplies, so I looked around at what I had- three small tubes of paint and some scrap board.

Although the designs are mechanical in composition and form, these humble materials and the textures within them heavily inform my direction and commitment to capturing and maintaining the human vulnerability I felt when I first began.
