Past-Present-Future
For this project, I am creating three large sculptural vessels that represent the Past, the Present, and my hope for the Future of the textile industry. The "Past" vessel honors old traditions and the memories held in the fabric. The "Present" looks at the waste we create in our world today. The "Future" represents a sustainable industry—a world where less might truly be more.
This work was inspired by a dream—a literal vision of turning long, winding coils into sculptural works of art. Getting from that dream to reality required patience and plenty of trial and error, the result is a series of pieces that sit at the intersection of craft and sculpture. The vessels still carry the essence of a basket, but they are starting to take on a life of their own.
