Don't Touch       Yarn, pine, thread 6 ft x 7 ft " Don't Touch " embodies the fusion of conceptual depth and tactile allure, inviting viewers into a realm where the senses converge. Inspired by the paradoxical allure of objects that beg to be touched yet remain off-limits, this weaving sculpture serves as a testament to the power of texture and visual resonance. In this experimental piece, I sought to push the boundaries of traditional weaving techniques, weaving together multiple methods into a singular, evocative piece. The infusion of bold, vibrant hues was a deliberate choice, intended to captivate the observer's gaze in any space. The monumental scale of " Don't Touch " serves as a deliberate departure from the conventional confines of weaving, offering a fresh perspective on the medium's possibilities. By embracing such a scale, I aimed to challenge perceptions and prompt contemplation on the intersection of artistry and scale.

My intent was to visually communicate that the pattern was moving in a way and bright and vibrant. I wanted to focus on how the piece could deceive the eyes because I enjoy making artwork that causes the audience to stare at work for a long period of time. I decided to include embroidery in my artwork to add a bit of depth to the art piece.  I feel that the piece is not lacking anything. This piece has allowed me to explore embroidery further as I have only done it a handful of time...

Memento

  Roadkill Asphalt, Acrylic paint, rock 2” x 3.25” x 1” The sculpture reflects the memory of eating a roadkill squirrel as a child. When I was 12, we skinned and ate a squirrel my sister found on the road in front of our house. Each material represents a specific aspect of the memory. The rock represents the squirrel, the red spray paint represents the time of it being dead and the non-painted aspect is the remembrance of it being alive. The asphalt on the tip of the red paint represents the road on which the animal was found and died. The red color creates a focal point. Being it is shiny, creates a break between the matte materials used on either side.
