For me, there is nothing more satisfying than the act of making objects and making images. I love drawing, painting, and printmaking. I love to weave on a hand loom and I love to weave on an industrial loom. In 2015, I started weaving editions of images based on my etchings. I am interested in using the Jacquard cloth as an underpainting, with hand applied lake pigments and ground earth ochres. Creating a custom canvas requires controlling thousands of individual threads. The result is a high-relief, image-based cloth — unlike working on a uniform surface, like blank paper or canvas. I think of most of my work as a form of storytelling. The specific narrative depends on the interpretation of the viewer but, for me, the narrative is often one of escape: Escape into the work. Escape from the physical world. There are narrow escapes, daring escapes, lucky escapes. From surreal to abstract, the current series are a means of escape.
