In my art practice, I work with fiber to create soft sculptural art pieces. My weaving practice began in 2020 in the midst of discovering the joy of making art for its own sake. I follow my intuition and recall memories of traveling through South and Central America in my childhood. Deeply inspired by the craft movement I witnessed in the art markets of Ecuador and El Salvador, I shape my innate feelings of wonder and delight through form, color, and rhythm.
During my creative process, I collaborate with the material, exploring its transformative possibilities through scale and texture. I think of my soft sculptural vessels as entities charged with their own visceral energy, powerful enough to command the viewer's attention and share its own story.
