ARTIST STATEMENT

I’m a disabled, queer textile artist who has worked with upcycled fiber since 2020: embroidery, machine and hand sewing, soft sculpture, and installations on environmental themes. I'm drawn to old objects – the discarded, the outdated, the broken, the unloved – and the process of acquiring and curating supplies plays an active role in my artistic production.
