Biography

And the end of all our exploring, Will be to arrive where we started, And know the place for the first time. -T.S. Eliot

WELCOME

I incorporate found and self-made pieces of crocheted textiles into my work as metaphors for the particular patterns of my native Southern culture.

Of specific interest to me is how these pieces of traditional handwork transcend the mere decorative by creating evocative domestic icons, powerful and often innocently ironic.

Rusted, pierced, and shaped metal refers to man-made aspects of our culture and provides the visual and conceptual counterpoint to the woman-made textiles, thereby creating a metaphorical duality.
