ultimately, i’m a storyteller. and, i play with clothes (fabric, textures, fibers) as a way to communicate and express. as a costumer, my work lends its voice to that of characters who have something to say. and, likewise, the fiber art i create from these costume pieces, are "parallel portraits" which have a certain energy "baked into them." more, the stripwork pieces are layered with intention and, upon a deeper dive, various mixed media to tap into a particular topic. with that, my art calls upon what once was and has the nerve to push boundaries of what could be and what is--extending the narrative of the original item. more, what i create centers authenticity and relatability, embraces diversity and celebrates the audacity of turning "what was discarded" into beautiful works.
