  Artist Statement
“I choose fiber as my medium in order to consider the personal, the historical and the impermanent. I think about the way personal and historical events in the past shadow and alter the present. The four-panel installation, Traveling Light, is a meditation on accumulating and discarding experiences; about how much changes and how much remains the same.”
 
     
 

Shown Right: Traveling Light (Single Panel Detail), 16.3' x 12', four-panel installation.
