I work with textiles for their ability to simultaneously protect and provoke. Employing colors best described as a visual sugar rush, my object and image-making practice honors the historically peripheral forms of weaving, knitting, and sewing while untangling notions of utility, autonomy, labor, and adornment associated with craft. Through the interplay between dark humor, light-heartedness and the abject, craft tactics and aesthetics become instruments of self-determination and subversion in my work.

WARP SPEED examines craft and production in times of crisis. Through processes of weaving, knitting, sewing, joining, stretching, and dyeing, the works included explore ideas of tension, power, conflict, and connection.
