I have always found myself questioning my relationship with reality, self-determination, and the idea of a higher power. Despite not being religious or spiritual, I draw much inspiration from religion, specifically, the attempt to find comfort and closure through it. My work attempts to wrestle with concepts relating to the psyche and ideology, in part to help me better understand my own experiences. My work with textiles is a significant part of a larger practice which also includes graphic design and sculpture.

50 Ways to See Through People is a large tapestry made of knit mohair panels and various metal hardware. I drew inspiration from Rorschach tests to develop a shape that is ever-changing with the viewer. From far away, the shape dominates, and the mix of colors and the harsh hardware invite an array of interpretations. Upon closer inspection, the viewer can appreciate the warping and pulling of the knit as it creates unique patterns and textures.
50 Ways to See Through People is named after a leaflet published by late spiritual leader Vernon Howard. Through showing how individual experience varies with the changing light, seasons, and positionality, I aim to challenge the idea of a universal truth that Howard presents.
