I push material and social boundaries in my work by establishing and challenging binary systems through repetitive of tension and balance. By constructing installations and objects that combine techniques of traditional fiber work with disparate materials I push expectations of traditional work. Ambiguity plays an important role in my work, signifying slippage of power from one subject to another. Through suggestive text, calculated balancing, or the build up of potential energy, I present power as elusive rather than fixed; socially-constructed and upheld. My work emanates inequalities within contemporary performances of gender and exhibitions of power. When performing with sound, image, or as image, I step into these roles directly inhabiting spaces of both lost and self-possessed agency. I use fiber systems of tension and balance to reflect social, political, and historical implications of power. Objects and spaces are constructed precariously by applying principles of tension and repetition to post-consumer, post-industrial, and traditional fine art materials.
