I make a 3-D vessel form out of fabric – something I learned at the workshop last summer. I sew the form and then stuff it with perlite (the little white stones in potting soil) and sculpt it.

I took a papermaking workshop at Penland last summer and have been making embossed panels out of paper pulp. It's all recycled computer paper and junk mail.

I'm thinking about the stitches' repetitive structures as being an abstraction of the repetitive structures in nature.

I started embroidering on watercolor paper – black on white at first,” but inspired by a black-on-black painting she’d seen in a show in Nashville, “I began to coat wood panels in graphite, drilled holes with my jewelry tools, and embroidered in white. I am in love with graphite because it can be perfectly matte all the way to reflectively shiny.”

When I got to SCAD and took more weaving classes, I thought back to that experience and decided to explore it more. Using their computer-aided weaving, I started blending low-carbon steel with linen, silk, cotton, and other materials. When the fabric came off the loom, the steel was monochromatic gray, but then I'd wash it in salt water to start the color changing process. That body of work resulted in Transient Structures – her thesis show of huge woven panels of fibers and rusting metal "purposefully designed to fall apart."

I recreated a bedroom scene – all the textiles, the bedspread, the pillows, etc. were made from shiny silver and black low-carbon steel. But Michigan is a lot like Savannah. Lots of humidity. The steel started to rust and fall apart.
