ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I have always been an experiential learner with a passion for photography.
The photographic print has been my visual voice and I’ve explored multiple alternative printing processes, over the years including platinum and hand made substrates. I enjoy doing my own printing.
Creating an expressive print is both challenging and rewarding.
I began weaving as a break from photography, but soon found I wanted to bring the tactile quality of weaving to my photographs.
In my latest body of work, I am exploring the creative potential of woven images. I feel the woven texture helps engage the viewer, and draws them deeper into the image.
