    • The Frame Series

    Each piece in this series transforms a vintage picture frame into a weaving loom–exploring the tension between craft and art in weaving.

    A frame is a fixed presentation vessel, synonymous with formalized display in museums, galleries or the home. Activating it as a useful tool, the frame possesses its own character and adapts to the distinct qualities of the weaving process–creating a relationship of both element and craft.

    Corridors of Time

    The inspiration for Corridors of Time was the sense of feeling out of place and isolated leading to a creative escape and exploration of space and color during the COVID quarantine of 2020. Each day weaving led to another path, hallway, corridor of escape.
