I thought it was already figured out
Finishing the experimental Quilt piece reminded me of a humbling truth: learning and perfecting a new process always takes time. Like other parts of this project, I underestimated how much time developing a new skill takes. I think that's why I sometimes resis...
Two steps forward, one step back
Now that I’ve printed enough fabric to create what I imagine will be a corner of hanging silkscreened fabric, I’m not entirely sure what comes next. My mind keeps circling through possibilities, over and over.
In a meeting with Michael David, he assured me I alre...
Now that I have decided a basic theme or direction for the installation I thought it was a good idea to work with the model of the space. The room is long and narrow with very high ceilings with a black framework of lighting close to the ceiling. I envisioned lighting playing an important role in...

Hand made brushes!
This was a super fun week of making our own brushes. The goal was to create brushes that will reflect hand movements and gestures. I used both high flow paint and india ink.
My five brushes consisted of strands of cotton string, soft fabric netting, wheat threads with the se...
Trying Something New...
For the past few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about an upcoming residency programming I will be doing in the States. Up until this time I have been working primarily on wood panels. I like this substrate because I’m able to sand, scrape and add all kinds of texture to t...
