If I were a wall hanging, we would be together

(Left) felt strips, thread, bamboo sticks, 44in x 36in(Right) jute twine, rope, found stick, 42.5in x 33in, 2024

“This piece is made entirely out of found materials. I worked with them intuitively letting the process guide me, and letting the materials tell me what they wanted to be. I shaped the left piece first, weaving and hand-stitching the pieces in place. I then created the right piece with varying thicknesses of wrapped jute twine and rope. They call out to each-other with a sense of yearning.”
