"I work with the concept of interaction between life’s continuously evolving patterns. Working with simple cotton muslin I manipulate the cloth using washes of dye and ink, painting mediums and hardeners in order to create undulating planes of elaborately interwoven shapes and hues. Whether working on a continuous support or on multiple units, ideas of both surface and beneath the surface patterns are explored within the geography of cloth."
