Artist Statement

I position art making as a method of knowledge that enables material exploration through metaphysical thinking. By synthesizing consciousness, material knowledge, and cosmopraxis, the laborious process of weaving becomes a performance of being-feeling-knowing-doing that bridges human and material agency. The work I create is abstract, intuitive, and influenced by the threshold between science and spirituality. I approach my materials as active collaborators in my methodology, allowing gravity, tactility, and improvisation to guide form in my work.
