GEMS, 2024
Transparency, Thread, Wire 21" x 24" x 4"
GEMS is part of my Wire Tapestry series. I am interested in moving the viewer’s eyes around the piece by repeating and varying the size of the patterns. My color palette is very organic in the beginning and evolves as I work with the shapes.

Shape Shifting, 2023
Transparency, Thread, Wire 46" x 36" x 1.5"
Shape Shifting is made up of blocks of patterned rectangles, is non-directional and can be hung horizontally or vertically. I'm interested in the relationship of positive and negative space and how the repetition of certain patterns moves your eye around taking it all in.
