Fiber-based Work
I believe fiber art was born from the human desire for connection and comfort. Winding, binding, and braiding thousands of feet of fiber into fabrics speaks to my desire to find pattern in chaos, to organize new information into a cohesive system, and to understand the materials of my daily experience. The works in this wide-ranging series, begun in 2017, explore issues of disillusionment, contradiction, Jewish diaspora, and absurdity through embroidery, welding, lacemaking, collage, and crochet. These objects and installations oscillate between representational and experiential, between line and form, and assert that paradox and doubt can be tools for somatic knowledge and introspection.
