ARTIST STATEMENT

Handwoven Interlacements represents the paths of life. Sometimes we meet old friends and renew relationships. At other times, these linkages are broken, become dead ends or are not renewed. The color striations relate to ups and downs in life, much like the highs and lows of a sound recording. Through it all, life persists.
