Natural Tendencies

I am a mixed media sculptor working in Louisville, KY. For most of my work, I use fiber and textile techniques to create vessels and installations that address scientific themes and explore how humans perceive and interact with the natural world. I have been thrilled to call much of my recent work “basketry,” with its inherent qualities of containment and connection. I enjoy experimenting with found materials – both foraged plant materials and discarded human-made objects – to express their special qualities and to show that many of the things we throw away can be reused to make art.
