Abstract Details

2013, MFA, Kent State University, College of the Arts / School of Art.
As an artist, I am interested in how to inject the personal and intuitive into the regularity of systems, and with this body of work, I do this primarily by introducing disruptions. Responding to the flat, loom-controlled patterning that is used to structure a field of yarns, I introduce irregularity and disruption through painting the yarns with organic shapes prior to weaving. The result is a body of work that balances steady patterning of weaving with painted images in transitional movement.
