"I experiment with alternative modes of production and distribution of goods, mainly cloth. Through my body of work I demonstrate an unalienated, non-coercive anarchist model, and initiate situations which question and critique the current capitalist structure, and the relationship of the artisan and the artist. My interests combine a physical, repetitive, meditative materials-oriented process with a presentation that attempts to initiate active situations, rather than passive contemplation. I like to weave, and make statements in the first person. As a Graduate Student at California College of the Arts, straddling the Textiles and Social Practice programs, I am forming a vocabulary which includes interactive installations, sculptural art objects, and direct craft interventions. I am interested in inspiring individuals to enact a world-wide craft revolution, because idle hands are the devil's playground. Also fair, non-coercive exchange of goods in communities of local makers would be ideal."
