ARTIST STATEMENT
Needle and thread are my drawing tools. I stitch on paper or other material by threading a fine needle, piercing the paper or material, and pulling a line of color into space. Laying the thread down, I create a relief, pierce the paper or material again and pull the thread through to repeat the sequence hundreds, thousands of times to color an area. Every stitch is a decision, an intentional gesture made in response to the materials, the emerging patterns, the overall composition that arises.
