I let my web do my thinking

Wood, yarn, deer skull, clamps, video projection

Using the traditional craft of crochet with an unconventional and non-utilitarian approach, I use a mix of lace, cotton, and acrylic yarn to create a fragile and resilient web of work. Manipulating tension, weight, and flexibility, I play with what pulls us up and what holds us down; mixing together intentional weaving and overlooked entanglement. An internal reflection of my own psyche, a medley of joy, traumas, relationships, memories, dreams, and beliefs, the web represents the journey of being and becoming, an ever-evolving and cyclical process. The shadows juxtaposed with the projection create a liminal space where creation, destruction, and existence all overlap. “I let my web do my thinking” engenders an imagined reality of healing, where our inner selves are intricately intertwined with our collective relationship with the natural world.
