Found Object Weavings Series

An ongoing series of weavings created with found objects. I begin this series during the pandemic and worked with things I had lying around the studio and house along with objects i found on trips and walks. Palm, shells, hand-spun native Oaxacan cotton, wood, sticks, peacock feathers, rocks, moss, takeout chopsticks, lemongrass, and seed pods. Walking within and convening with nature is an important part of my life. Weaving these items into sculptures and tapestries helps me remember specific journeys and moments in time, a woven memory.
