Roots Series (Lavender)
Roots Series (Lavender), 2022
Hand-knotted linen, acrylic paint, brass rod
83 x 48 x 3.5 in
Tied with overhand knots of linen threads and then painted with acrylic, the varying forms from The Roots series are furry sculptures. Threads are unmoored from the woven grid or knitted structure and hang loosely in intermingling groups.
Linked together through a series of basic knots, these works reference the simplicity of bringing disparate elements together through the act of knot tying–a practice both universal and historical, linking humankind together through space and time. Orderly tangles of painted thread mirror organic root structures and remind us of generative creation and the basic physical structures of life.
Mauve
Mauve, 2021
Linen thread, acrylic paint, wood panel
60 x 60 in
My new series is based on the Japanese form of Ikat called Kasuri, an ancient weaving and dye technique that uses a resistance method applied directly to yarns in order to create woven patterns. Similar to the iconic blurred effect of Kasuri, these new works blur the line between textile and painting. My surface substrate begins as a chaotic network of linen yarn applied to wood panels in indiscriminate clumps andis then gessoed into a flat but topographically rough surface. From here I apply paint directly onto the thread using a tonal palette that creates the illusion of a woven grid, while my threads remain in disarray just underneath the paint’s surface. Inspired by hand-woven materials from my mother’s country of origin, these works are a continuation of my inquiry into the evocative nature of fabric and the deep relationship between humans, textiles, comfort and care.
