Items that hold life and Living Patterns
In the same way a traditional weaving is interlaced with meaningful materials, iconography, and intent, these tapestries are weavings of everyday items that were touched, consumed, experienced, and exercised in my everyday life at this time.
Attempting to blur the boundary between art and life, these weavings represent the honoring of the quiet everyday objects in my life that nourished, lit, and gave birth to action, shape, and beauty.
