Congregate
I am a mixed media/fiber artist currently living in Greensboro, NC. I earned a BFA from Guilford College in Sculpture and a MAD in Fibers and Surface Design at North Carolina State University.
I have always been enamored with the past and its connection with one's memory, specifically those pivotal moments where a change has occurred. These moments are forever etched into our minds and have altered our way of life. This fascination is the basis of all of my work as an artist, as I attempt to understand not only myself but also others.
The materials I use have a strong connection to my own memories. Materials like wax, paper, hair, cheesecloth, and fabric are more than just my past. They are symbols of my identity and sexuality. I am not only attracted to the way materials can make you feel, but also their touch. This tactile nature draws my hands into working with them. For me, all materials possess evocative and compelling qualities. It also draws viewers in and causes them to react to the work, stimulating their own memories.
