STATEMENT

I am a conceptual artist who uses cross stitch as a metaphor for boundaries.

I build work stitch by stitch to examine how space operates—who controls it, who occupies it, who gets seen in it. Space is my frontier. I work with body space, home space, indoor public space, outdoor public space, and earth space to find the soul and connect to power. 

Beauty, for me, acts as force, not decoration. Color, surface, and soul intersect to generate energy and meaning.

Through my projects I address power, race, womanhood, memory, and collective responsibility—from stitched earth portraits, monumental tapestries to modular outdoor sculptures. I challenge hierarchies that dismiss materials labeled as craft, domestic, or women’s work. I take yarn and time—materials long minimized—and scale them until they dominate space. My works reach up to 80 by 15 feet, stitched on industrial debris netting. I have them sit on top of mountains and jut up 20 feet to the sky. I hang them in galleries to resemble a women's circle. I make portraits the size of fields. I confront viewers physically. I demand attention.

This is not your grandma’s embroidery.
