ARTWORKS

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed using a variety of fibre traditions—yarn painting, rug hooking, punch needle, embroidery, sewing—each with its own rhythm, touch, and way of keeping time. The works that emerge are tactile contemplations, vessels for inquiry and presence, teaching me as much as I create them.

I make work that asks me to slow down and be transformed by the making. To sculpt is, for me, to take responsibility for what I give form to—both inwardly and outwardly. It is a practice of reclamation, recollection, and re-imagination; a way of remembering our inter-being one bead or stitch at a time.

My work unfolds through what I call my “3 Rs”—not reading, writing, and arithmetic, but rhythm, ritual, and record.

Rhythm returns me to a more natural tempo, the one my materials themselves insist upon. When I move at their pace, my attention settles. A quiet doorway opens, and what wants to reveal itself can begin to breathe.

Ritual is the key. When I show up with devotion, repetition becomes a threshold rather than a loop. Stitch by stitch, bead by bead, the materials start to speak through me. The imagination stirs.

Record completes the arc. Each artwork becomes a transmutation—evidence of a literal changing of the record. Every piece stands as both artefact and offering: a witness to transformation, a vessel for beauty in all its depths, and, in the sharing of it, a testament to our interconnection.
