Item Special Note
Artist Statement: Through Passages, I explore moments of transcendence that happen against the intense chatter of contemporary life. Using found textiles, Paper ephemera, & repeating gestures marked in wax paint, I witness the apparently mundane nature of my days as a mother & grownup-- much like traditional quilters used fabric & thread to do. I begin with a pieced layer of shopping & to do lists, receipts, article clippings, calendars & maps fragments of my daily infrastructure. Using fabric netting, I make impressions in the Encaustics warm skin. Then I look for the hundreds of pathways that are left to slowly refine & carve into the surface. I scrape through layers of field color, excavating words & deeds, once important, that got buried in my race to the next thing. Patterns emerge & suggest a sonorous, calm hum rising out of the hectic daily buzz.
