Weaving has long been used as a metaphor for the interconnectedness of life. Symbols, allegory, and narrative stitched into textiles have documented cultural expression throughout history, and I continue in that tradition.

The words “text” and “textile” both come from the Latin word “texere,” meaning to weave. From protests for bodily autonomy, to documenting the COVID fatalities in New York State, to encouraging messages for our community, I use weaving to record the issues of our time.

Weaving is a laborious practice, especially in the days of instant everything. As I work row by row, building a visual image, threads are interlaced, strengthening the structure of the whole cloth. In a time of disrupted norms, I hope that weaving with the intention of bringing grace to the forefront can strengthen the connective tissue between people and help prevent our global society from completely unraveling.
