Coral Xl 14”x14”x14” 2018

Coral forms naturally by accretion. A slow process of material forming a shape bit by bit. My work utilizes the repetitive coiling technique to mimic the slow process to create the form of the coral. The neutral linen warp thread I use enhances the form through shadow and light. The texture is warm and soft to the touch but retains strong structural integrity.

My fiber sculptures are in the round. Each piece is tightly constructed and will retain its form. The materials I utilize to create each piece will last. The pieces can be handled gently and many can have viewing positions changed by turning it or hanging it. All of the sculptures are created with the coiled basketry technique and wrapping using braided poly cord, unbleached linen warp, a needle and scissors.
