Tapestry

2021

Created over the course of three months, this piece is comprised of hand drawn patterns on unfired thin porcelain tiles that are then painstakingly sewn into with slip-soaked thread. The small tiles, once fired, glazed and lustered, were then joined together with
twine and hundreds of hand-tied knots.

This simple yet complex process and resulting work is the culmination of years of exploring methods of combining my love of sewing and ceramics, as well as my enduring preoccupation with assertion of physical presence through the combination of many
small parts.
