The artist has derived inspiration for the current body of work from the following quote. It particularly influenced the creation of Pattern in the Path (one of the attached images): 

 "In the middle of my life, I drew the path of it upon a map and I studied it a long time. I tried to see the pattern that it made upon the earth because I thought that if I could see that pattern and identify the form of it then I would know better how to continue. I would know what my path must be." –Cormac McCarthy, Cities of the Plain

Artist Statement: I seek a reduction of information to create pattern and rhythm. I build systems that will develop unpredictable outcomes, to balance order by allowing materials, dyeing techniques and woven structure to determine results. I am currently focusing on generating pattern through written/spoken word and body movement.
