Artist Statement

Everyone loves a good story and I’m no different

My fabric collages are like story boards or stills from a movie when the key character arrives at a critical moment. Will the protagonist rise to meet the crisis? Or will he/she find comfort in denial or blame? Who is a hero? A villain? Or a dupe? These might be good questions for our times. 

Man’s use of textiles to signal social status combined with fashion’s ranking as the third highest polluting industry world-wide make textiles an ideal medium to share with the viewer questions about how we as a society navigate a changing climate.
