My artwork speaks about social and physical isolation and the many ways we maintain connections remotely. The isolation of the figurative elements in my work is as important as the connection and fragile threads that bind them together.
One of the main components of my works is threads which represent connecting things. When they break or cut, the threads can be re-connected by tying. The nature of fibers tend to stick together and be entangled, and I find similarities in human relationships. To think about these connections, my ritual has become wrapping thread around works. Through the repetition of circular movement, I am in a loop of spiraling and continuously repeating until the thread meets the edge. The spiral resembles the timeline of a tree’s growth which also represents how my time is embedded in my piece. Wrapping threads around pieces becomes my meditation.
