My work speaks to our shared humanity as we walk this world, casting our shadows, while experiencing frustration, loneliness, community, confidence, desire, and love. My shadow and feet have inspired many of the images I have witnessed and recreated in textiles, but that shadow and those feet become the shadow and feet of each person who stands before my work, uniting us further. Using everyday materials for these everyday images, I “paint” using the cloth that clothes us, wraps us as we sleep, and comforts us when we are cold: the literal fabric of our lives. The materials make the emotions visceral and as universal as our body casting a shadow or our feet traveling the earth.
