My Handiwork series arises from a pull to work rhythmically, holding the tradition of needlework and textiles in a way that is mine. In these paintings, I focus on the creation of the marks themselves, hearing the cadenced click of knitting needles or the paced pulling of thread as I make repeated movements with paint. Through this process, I recall the ceremony of collective samplers and quilts, sharing and passing down a heritage- remembered, or not, along the way.
