Surviving
For this series titled Pressing, I used old book covers, yarn, thread and plexi to create a handmade press in which dried plants could be on permanent display. The yarn wrapping technique I used is based on the way weavers traditionally create small wrappings to visualize color combinations and patterns. Taking things quite literally, I used the age old practice of pressing plants to illustrate climate change being a pressing matter.

My art practice is a means to experiment with fiber in combination with different materials, such as paper, ephemera, ink, sticks and rocks. In my work, I have an intuitive approach to use these materials in unexpected new ways. With Mother Nature as my muse, I challenge myself to play with the juxtaposition between organic and geometrical shapes and compositions. My artworks are deeply personal meditations on impermanence and allow me to express myself beyond words.
