My primary interest is fiber. I use a variety of media, ranging from traditional to high-tech, to describe a world that speaks at once about the microcosm and the macrocosm, with fiber as the connecting theme. Metaphors involving fiber have been used throughout time and in numerous cultures to explain beliefs about creation and life. These creation myths intrigue me: the weaving of the cosmos and the weaving of body tissue; the spinning of the universe and the spinning of a thought. Such myths and metaphors are the major inspiration behind my on-going investigation into fiber. I am interested in these ancient and symbolic meanings and how the Truths from the past can be represented and made relevant in contemporary contexts. My search is for a visual image to show the connections between the physical and the metaphysical, exploring notions of interconnection, ultimately linking the corporeal to the spiritual, and making the invisible threads visible. I have more recently started using fiber in a playful dancing series which I will be posting shortly...
