More and more I believe the practice of art and craft is a way of staving off the harsher realities of life, of making sense of life by observing and then constructing or reinterpreting the world. In this way, the artist hands over a fresh language, invites dialog and creates connections. I translate the often banal things that capture my attention into a form to wear that sometimes surprises even me. Process, and experimenting with different materials is as important as the end result.
