Statement.
My artwork expands on the behavior of fabrics, to playfully find meaning in their new forms. Lightweight fabric is sewn together with heavyweight, to discover what will happen. Still holding the patina of the former wearer, discarded garments are reimagined. Cloth is cut into shapes, collaged into a loose statement. Abstracting what was once wearable into a hung painting. NO LIMITS implies boldly moving forward, pushing to the maximum of what is acceptable. In my art practice, I am unearthing what various fabrics can do together and if those relationships succeed or fail. Fabric can make the wearer look like a queen, or a fool. The implied hierarchy within this idea lends itself to fashion, art, classism, and overall judgment of the image at hand. My artwork questions value, worth, trash, and treasure, and offers freedom to explore new relationships in textiles.
