During undergrad, I got really into religious imagery. It started in my art history classes. I started exploring how I could use those images to describe my world during my last semester of school, which culminated in my capstone show called β€œTranslating Divinity”. You can see the results of that project here.

Right now, I am expanding upon that. I am taking established religious imagery and putting my own esoteric and surreal twist on it, exploring what these icons mean to me and how that differs from the mainstream.

I just finished a weaving with a 100% cotton warp and a patterned weft (acrylic for the teal pattern, cotton for the tabby). With this piece, I am examining textiles’ ability to make a space. This cloth is/creates a space of meditation. I could use it to wrap myself in or sit on, the piece being used in either way changes how I interact with my surroundings, almost encapsulating me in its borders.

I am starting to spend a lot more time outside as it is summertime. I have been birdwatching with my partner a lot and have earned a few bird calls that help me identify which bird is around. My favorite bird is the Northern Flicker.
