I weave paper because I see the world as a tapestry- plaited with rich color, layered with stories of nature’s cycles, laced together by time. As I sketch and create I often discover intersections and connections between my own life and the landscapes I am trying to capture – the rise and fall of rivers with the seasons, the fire cycle of California, the erosion of cliffs to the sea.I work from memory. I find that working from memory helps distill the scenes to essential contours. As a result, many of the forms are not what might be captured in a photo but are reminders that evoke common feelings and experiences in this world we share.
