| dc.description.abstract | The artist's statement: As both a textile and metal artist, I see a special relationship between these two materials that, at first appearance, both seem vastly different. Metalwork and textiles have a shared history of ornamentation and body adornment, as well as being a part of everyday life. All of us use metal on a daily basis from the utensils we eat with, the cars we drive, to the jewelry we wear. I am passionate about the transformations that metalwork and fiber art goes through to create a variety of textures, shapes, curves and lines; the way they can be crafted to appear delicate and fragile yet are strong. I enjoy the processes required to turn raw material into recognizable items; for example, the process of raising a flat disk of copper into a rounded vessel. I show this in my work by using pattern and structure to create narratives that honor this process. Many of my metalwork functions as tools that facilitate transformations within my fiber work. In this way, I use metals as a conduit to facilitate changes in other materials. For example, this is both seen and accomplished in my drop spindle called The Three Fates. This narrative shows the cycle of wool being transformed into cloth; it displayed on a drop spindle that functions to create yarn. This symbiotic relationship is an overall theme in my work. I make beautiful tools that tell the story of the transformations of fiber while also functioning as a contemplative object that reflects the work that it creates as well as a piece to be admired by the maker who uses them. | |
