Weavings
Like a scientist studying fossils, I explore the history of a human being by the intense observation of their skin. I believe that the ebb and flow of our emotions, over time, forms our textures, scars, wrinkles, and spots. By pairing the face or figure of older individuals with imaginary fabric, I weave together hybrids that combine the warp and weft of both textile and skin. I require the handmade coverings I create to demonstrate growth, revision, ravel, and repair.

Biotectonic Project (2007)
|
Biotectonics is the science or practice of constructing biological entities. Here I have imagined new creatures and environments with the intent of investigating the threat posed by new biologically based technologies. I cannot escape the anxiety generated by my view of these as a destabilization of the fundamentals of life. Whether through a swift, manufactured Armageddon or slow, inexorable natural decay, I fear man’s intricately woven tapestry of civilization could come undone with the pull of a single thread.
