In defiance of conventional ideals about size, age and beauty, these fiber art works reveal stories of quiet dignity maintained beyond the ever-shifting balances of power. About the experience of being.

It is most often cloth that holds stories for me. Woven textile or wool felt, flexible, semi-permeable like skin, possess a strength, like that of the Will, achieved by mere pressing of fibers, positioning of threads. A magical triumph not unlike that of life. 

I form my fiber art objects through pattern-draping and needle-sculpting. Weave, cut and drape join forces with gravity to let them emerge. The cloth guides. I, the awestruck partner, discover more than determine, size, posture, attitude, expression and position of the objects to one another, within a room, and in relation to us. 

The works convey a voice beyond that of mere matter. Sharable and experiential, they whisper of what it feels like to be born and to exist as flesh and spirit.
