I work across media, looking through the lens of one medium into another. My training and background are in drawing and painting, but here I'm searching for what weaving can tell me about painting, or sewing can teach me about sculpture, or how matter can lead me to poetry. Ultimately, I treat the act of translation, from one medium to another, as generative.
