“My work brings together a strong aesthetic and material-based practice into the realm of social justice. I use weaving, ceramics, performativity, and process as manifestations to expand the discourses of textile and political art. The relation- ship of textiles to social justice is used to create a working meth- od in which to start my material explorations. Touch, texture, and the handmade are explored in
relationship to the maker and the performance of making. Strong aesthetic and decora- tive elements in the work are employed to subvert tradi- tional occidental devaluation of these elements particularly in relation to craft materials and women’s work.”
