Sculpture, Fiber on Silk
Size: 25 W x 25 H x 3 D in
Indecisiveness I is an extension of two other works I made, setting intention, and making change. If we look at habits as the patterns and colors made in the piece, we start with the current habit as orange. An intention to change is made (blue), but the change needs to be made, the pattern still needs to break. The pattern is broken after the intention is set. This piece reflects falling back into old habits and trying again and again. It’s easy to fall out of new habits, so the piece goes back to orange and then the cycle repeats. I reflected on the difficulty of quitting smoking cigarettes with this piece. It took multiple attempts and it was always harder to try to quit and change the habit than it was to start up again.

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.
