My work highlights our dependence on nature and restoring a relationship with the land through seasonal, land-based crafts of natural dyeing and handwoven artistry. I aim for a continual practice of ethically foraging & cultivating plants from the land for dye, slowly weaving a web by hand on a foot- powered floor loom, and making with all second-hand, recycled, or scrap natural fibers. This work explores connections with the land through colors derived from place for dye. I am connecting woven threads of organic intelligence into new worlds and webs. I believe anything can be a thread and every thread tells a story.
