Mexico

This collection weaves together my experiences in the Mojave, Sonoran, & Chihuahuan Deserts that I’ve explored extensively over the past few years. It relates the desert’s dryness, distinct palette, openness, transparency, & unknowability using techniques of reflection, obscuring, & suspension of movement.

Linen, merino, & cotton are accented with cochineal, porcelain, & various earth pigments that highlight the texture & dimensionality of a pebbled knot or stitch, transforming a canvassed piece at large. Weaving, wrapping, & knotting are complimented by hand building with porcelain & stoneware to express my perception of the Mirage.
