My work is primarily a test of the limits of what is traditionally a humble, domestic medium. My tendency is to subvert the idea that cloth comes with a built-in reference to home and to “women's work”; to undermine it by combining fabric with non-domestic imagery and processes.
Like the tension that exists between opposite magnetic poles, these works are self-conflicted, their elements exerting mutual force on each other.
For me, work is complete when it is tensely ambiguous, when the stereotypical implications of the fabric are engaged in an open exchange with the figurative elements on its surface.
