artist statement

I am fascinated by problems that arise at the intersections between personal experience and larger social and cultural networks. Forces such as family, geography, and social roles continuously demarcate and destabilize one?s identity. Some forces are too tangled and undefined but sometimes we find loose ends that can be picked up, followed, and untangled. I am interested in the process of disentanglement as a means of understanding my place in the world.

 For me this means locating myself in a number of ways: as an artist, as an occupant of domestic spaces, as a mother. What is relationship between the role of mother and the role of artist? What are the perimeters of east and west? Feminine and masculine? What does the space, if there is any, between these and other pairs look like? Does contrast increase or fade, making difference imperceptible? My process of making is always closely related to both drawing and to the history of utilitarian feminine craft as a daily practice and labor gauged by the accumulation of repeated form or act. Repetitive and meditative acts: wrapping, poking, folding, stacking, hooking, pulling - all make space for quiet, association, and attentiveness.
