What I hope to capture in my work is a myriad of reflections of the collective culture of our time.
Thru the filter of my own experience as a white female born in1950's America, I explore themes of assumed entitlements, homogenization, marginalization, and human obsolescence - social divides we’ve come to accept as normal cultural paradigms.

In questioning this acceptance, I recognize the insignificant — marginalized found objects and disenfranchised people. Driven by a desire to make right, my work relies on my own handwork, but also orchestrates handwork of homeless individuals in my community.

Fundamentally, my work exploits traditional fiber techniques as conceptual tools for aesthetic, social communication to examine a society of which we are all a part — as bystanders, participants, victims and perpetrators.
