Find You Center is one of my imperfect pieces. I intentionally set the center line of silk askew, to create an element of imperfection. This piece also reflects the idea of finding yourself and your center, and the struggle that can arise when trying to do so in an American Culture. When the world wants you to be a specific way, it’s hard to shift and find your own path. The askew center line is a reminder that you may have to shift a bit from the comfort around you to find what brings you centered. My silk work is grounded in repetition, as each piece of silk is individually tied. This piece has over 1300 pieces of silk in it. I use this art practice to find my own center, acting as a physical mantra.

My work utilizes silk as a medium to capture, interpret and cope with the chaotic and uncontrollable realities of the world around me. My interest in this material was born out of my research at a biotech start up, which uses silk protein to stabilize vaccines. The work I do is grounded in repetition and meditation. When I acquire the silk, I separate the large hank of silk into hundreds of smaller bundles of about 200 strands each. After hand-dying the bundles, I weave the four-foot strands individually into a shadowbox-like frame that is completely wrapped in a polyester burlap. I attach the silk to the frame by hand-sewing it to the burlap and then tying it in place using tweezers. This is repeated over and over again, hundreds of times, until the piece is complete. As I create, I am driven deeply into self-reflection and meditation. I use the work to disconnect from my thoughts and impulses and guide me into a flow state.
