In my ongoing artistic practice, I explore the space between two and three- dimensionality, utilizing flexible materials, such as fabric, paper and wood, to build dimensionality from the accumulation of flat layers. Within my textile wall- based works, I create machine sewn fabric collages from a wide range of fabrics, exploring and manipulating ideas of quilting, applique and tactile formations, patch worked and growing across the surfaces of walls. Through repetition of machine sewing and lines of fabric, the soft geometry that arises presents an interplay between painting and textile arts while also growing into undulating, dimensional forms. I use a wide range of found fabrics as well as hand dyed and painted fabrics to collage together.
