I am attracted to looms for their complex simplicity. I love the interaction of line and plane, of warp and weft, in and out, up and down. Though I have no experience weaving (and maybe because of this void), the loom is, for me, a beautiful tool, a rhythmic instrument, a source of meditative repetition and mathematical pattern. I’m drawn to the physical gesture of weaving, the music of its motion. I embody these feelings and relationships as I approach the encaustic medium. With a X-Acto, I etch methodical, meditative and rhythmic lines into a soft plane of wax. Delicate lines emerge and fragment, binding the work together.

18 x 72 x 1.75 inches on panel

The Threadline Series is inspired by visual observations made in my studio environment, in nature and on neighborhood walks: left-over loops of thread; a crisp white line in a dark gray rock; looms, stitching patterns; blades of grasses shooting out of a crack in a concrete sidewalk; a white chalk line on a slate blackboard; the play of light-on-metal in a box of freshly opened x-acto blades, textures and patterns found in nature.

18 x 18 x 1 inches

The Threadline Series is inspired by seemingly insignificant visual observations made in my studio environment, in nature and on neighborhood walks – insignificant but (to me at least) visually arresting: left-over loops of thread lying randomly about; a crisp white line in a dark gray rock; looms, stitching patterns in fabric; blades of grasses shooting out of a crack in a concrete sidewalk; a white chalk line on a slate blackboard; the play of light-on-metal in a box of freshly opened x-acto blades, textures and patterns found in nature.
