Gentle Structures: Making Space Through Textiles is a series of textile sculptures exploring the connection between our physical and psychological landscapes. My sculptures are containers that reflect growth and the inevitable passage of time. The vessel-like shapes symbolize containment and habitation and are inspired by the spaces we inhabit through time, from the womb to the cave, from the hut to the tent and, finally, to the vessel that will hold our remains. In shaping space and crafting environments, I employ textile media and techniques like weaving, basketry, sprang, and coiling to encourage the contemplation of life.
