As an artist and a woman who lives in this world, I feel compelled to make work pertaining to climate change and social equity. Often, though, I merely create to express the joy and beauty I see around me. I am a weaver with a wide interest in creating form with fiber. I often use fine copper wire to create a woven structure which can be bent and formed into sculptural wall hangings which attempt to break free of the constraint often connected with fiber art as being 'a piece of cloth hanging on the wall'. I bring together a variety of fiber techniques in my work, using hand spun yarns, knit, crochet, braid and surface embellishment to create visually rich and textural surfaces. In these abstract wall sculptures, I can play, and perhaps in the process, pass on that joy and even some hope that we will survive the current assault on our women and our mother earth.
My work can be seen at Tangles to Treasures, 202 W Lincoln Ave., Fergus Falls, MN 56537
