Artist Statement:
In my 'UNCURTAIN' installations and constructions I use repurposed fabrics that I hand dye and alter with cut-outs in a grid like pattern. Curtains are designed to create a sense of privacy and protection, my work here disrupts the assumption of this traditional usage. I intentionally create spaces with uncertain boundaries dismantling the whole notion of privacy.
The series of thread paintings entitled 'SOFT GEOMETRY' are knit abstractions that I suspend and float off the wall. They can be seen as reinterpreting abstract painting with a feminine bend. These pieces are often site responsive and maintain a passive-aggressive quality; they assertively intrude on a space while suggesting an approachable fragility. Similarly, the geometric forms blatantly interrupt an environment while posing docile.
The female condition and female empowerment is inspiration for all of my work.
