We often find ourselves faced with addressing the differences between people, via identity, politics, economic stature, family origin, and more. Considering these topics, real entwined thread, or pulled lengths of wool, in the Common Threads paintings are a metaphor for commonly shared experiences bridging these different identity issues. Shared experiences bind people and their histories together in intimately interesting ways. I am working to use these links and metaphoric threads as a means to find common ground and harmony.
