Much of my recent work with woven photographs was initially inspired by archived family photos from the 1970s that highlight the prominence of plaid and graphic elements. Both plaid and the physical makeup of a woven fabric represent connections and transitions. My textile work highlights these semiotics at a deeper level, calling out my documented family relationships and questioning the transition of generations and memory as these images are interpreted in more subtle and graphic ways. The work showcases “inlaying” images through hand-woven renderings of the original photographs with careful consideration of locally sourced, and in some cases, recycled materials.

The work that is currently up for sale is all made by hand and with a lot of love!
