Fiber is a foundational medium for me as a maker. I gravitate towards its tangibility, memory, and capacity to transform. This semester I explored printmaking using fiber as a medium, image, and tool. From paper to yarn, I experimented with how fiber can, through a variety of printmaking methods, alter physical form, inspire images, and create tangible effects, while also being a portal through which I explored concepts of spontaneity, conversation, and memory. As an artist who has always found it challenging to envision a project before it has begun, fiber has been a tool by which I can reverse this process, responding to imagery that appears naturally, rather than forcing an image to take hold. Through this process, I made prints and book structures that follow threads of fiber in unique dirctions, each echoing off one another, building a conversation through image.
