This work is part of a series exploring the role of technology in Fiber Art. It is composed of traditional hand felted wool with laser cut patterns. Felt has long held comparisons to skin due to its rhizomatic and isotropic nature and the patterns are taken from images of sidewalk cracks found around Washington DC. This work is an exploration of what can constitute a monument within a city of monuments. It questions the role of time/aging within a monument and surrounding it. Should monuments last forever? What is appropriate to memorialize in a monument? What does the symbol of a fissure or a crack signify in the nation's capital? Can monuments be considered portraits of a nation? This work considers the life of materiality and embraces images of decay and through it I ask "should we celebrate entropy or lament it? In the words of Eva Hesse, "Life doesn't last, art doesn't last".

My research combines ideas of eschatology, acoustics, handcraft and loss; which I manifest in hybrid sculptures and installations. My practice is driven by concepts related to fragmentation, spirituality, repetition, pattern, interconnection and the emphasis of meaning found in craft processes. I search for broken narratives, end-time beliefs, quotidian gestures, textile structures, and the echo of entropy. In my work, I consider the shifting nature of craft and tradition by deconstructing ideas of progression and time. I often employ traditional craft techniques such as weaving, felting, quilting and hand embroidery and combine them with advanced prototyping technology such as laser-cutting, digital fabric printing, and digital Jacquard hand weaving. I triangulate between the poetics of electricity, the production of the hand and daydreams of dystopia. How does humanity perceive its relationship to technology changing? Why is string considered any different than 3D printing? What tension can be gleaned from understanding this perceived difference or continuous blurring?
