               DECADE: 1970s


               A meditation on memory and place, my work redefines aging fiber artifacts through
               needle-weaving and knotting.


               Anymore is built on horse fly nets from the 1970s. Referencing "Not in Kansas
               anymore," it's inspired by the remnant prairies near my childhood home, the horses
               from a nearby stable that would clomp down our suburban street, and a slew of
               memories that confront the gap between wistful nostalgia and objective reality.
