My art is inspired by dreams, questions, looking, and the surreal experience of having a physical form. 

I see fiber art as a conversation and I enjoy asking the question, “what hasn’t this technique done yet?” At the same time, textiles answer to the higher laws of geometry, physics, algebra, and utility. There are specific structural truths that cannot be ignored or discarded; inseparable from spiritual and metaphysical truths. My ancestors used complex knotting structures to map the stars and developed weaving structures capable of keeping bodies mummified for hundreds of years, for example.

Textiles have always been a language of where you come from. In Peru, weavings can be identified by what motifs and designs are used. Different regions and even individual weavers have their own signature images. These come directly from relationships with the land and are passed down by elders through the generations.

As a displaced person existing in the current world, I use these art forms to create my own signatures by documenting my intangible experiences with gender, self-perception, connection, and beauty.
