Artwork Description:
This is a handhooked wall-hanging made with mixed fibers and plastic. There are over 20,000 individual fibers in this piece! I hand cut and hooked them individually, giving the surface a shaggy, wild texture. The center area of the image contains a mixture of nylon rope and plastic film, giving a reflective, bright sheen to the center area. The imagry is related to an ongoing series dealing with themes of biological processes and the imagry we create to describe complex hidden ideas. I am also influenced heavily by the imagry I confront every day in the world of technology I inhabit.
