Contemporary fiber art is a vast field populated with artists pushing boundaries beyond what is expected using materials sculpturally and conceptually. Artists working in the field today owe a major debt to those who shifted textile arts to a seriously considered fine art form starting in the 1970s, dubbed the American craft movement. Pioneers such as Sheila Hicks, Eva Hesse, Robert Morris, Miriam Schapiro, Faith Ringgold, and Claire Zeisler exploded long-held notions and elevated works made with these materials through sculptural experimentation. This lecture will discuss artists who build on this legacy through their practice as sculptors, employing these materials weighted with radical history. source: https://www.textileswest.org/event-3033780

Assignment: Multiple Panel

Tri Tri

Dimensions: Blue 20" x 17". Pink 21.5" x 16.6". Green 27" x 17"

Materials: Wood, Paint, Nails, Yarn

This piece was inspired by a personal collection of stones (see image below). I am attracted to the individual qualities of each stone and how several stones form relationships to one another with regard to space, color and texture. The sculptural aspects of the piece interprets the three-dimensional qualities of layers and density. The work is reminiscent of mapping while alluding to elements of geography found in the natural world.

1st Transformation is an original drawing on large sheet of white paper. 

2nd Transformation

3rd Transformation

Missing image for 4th Transformation

5th Transformation

Coupled Beings

Dimensions: Approx. 4" x 4" & 4" x 6.6"

Materials: Black Plasti Dip, Gouche, soft pastels, tape

The transformation drawing began with a tonal drawing on a large sheet of paper and ended with a sculptural piece. Coupled Beings explores duality. Compressed in a book press to get the final shape, all previous marks and materials are still within the inside of the folded pieces. I chose to focus on duality because of the process of this project. Being someone who pays a lot of attention to detail and seems to be fairly picky over smears and smudges, through the process of this project I was able to experiment and understand more of a loose/no expectation side of creating that has allowed me to express myself more clearly.

Each of these eraser drawings centers around the idea of time, incorporating erasing as a concept of time. The work "Time, Paper, Tree" plays with the irony of drawing a tree on paper as an earlier reflection of the paper itself. "Time in the Living Room", is my living room over time, drawing in my roommates erasing them, drawing in and erasing the movements of the dog and the coffee table. This work made me reconsider the idea of a drawing which previously seemed to capture a single moment. Yet, in reality most drawings from life are a reflection of the multiple hours in which they were created.While drawing "The End" I was thinking about death in the context of time, not being the end.For the piece "Under a Tree", I would draw the shadows of the branches once an hour over the course of several hours letting the shadows illustrate time.

"Individuals in a Crowd", Oil Paint on Paper, Each portrait is approximately 8"x5".

 This drawing collection centers around the importance and value of every individual.  When observing groups and crowds of people, individuals are often dehumanized and perceived as the "other". The individual's humanity is often diminished by generalizations and cultural perceptions; they become unseen and unnoticed. Within this piece I worked to impress upon the viewer the importance of each person by highlighting the unnoticed people in the background of my own life. Each portrait in the collection is a person in the background of my own photographs, which is integral to the work because these are people I have seen yet not noticed.
