Each tiny stitch is a life cycle of connection.

Coming from a background in drawing, painting, quiltmaking, and dance, I combine these modalities in my practice of free-motion stitchwork. I hold the handlebars of my machine and draw with thread, capturing my ephemeral movements and archiving them into tiny beautiful chains. These chains of stitches pierce and illuminate the fabric, linking together to form monumental networks.

I’m traversing
from one uncharted territory
to the next.

Listening, attuning, accepting
calling adventure unknown.

Since I cannot stay in one place,
I have come to find solace
in the passage

of motion.
Threaded pains, raw courses:
mystical cartographies

an atlas of tracings…
