Working with fiber art offers me a unique medium to explore the dynamic interplay between softness and strength. My process is deeply meditative, rooted in repetition and rhythm. Each stitch, weave, fold, bead or knot becomes a marker of time, a testament to the slow, deliberate labor involved in bringing an idea to life. This repetitive nature mirrors the patterns of life itself—filled with tasks, routines, and transitions. In creating each piece, I carve out moments from the demands of motherhood, marriage, and my own artistic ambitions. The quiet act of making becomes a way of reclaiming space and time amidst the complexity of juggling multiple roles.
Creating fiber jewelry allows me to stretch the boundaries of material and form, inviting the wearer to engage with the work on both tactile and symbolic levels. The pieces are not just accessories; they are expressions of fragility, endurance, and transformation. Through these creations, I hope to evoke a sense of intimacy and connection, encouraging reflection on the beauty and resilience that can emerge from seemingly delicate forms.
