The realization that all concepts can be shared across any media of my choosing has been monumental in my motivation to create. I am free to explore and experiment. I am able to switch materials without feeling like I am straying from my artistic identity.
All art shares structure, organization, transition, unity, movement, and layers. I am a fiber artist by classification of major, but I can explore composition, texture, color, emotion, and energy through photography, writing, music, paint--anything that proves a valuable material through which I can learn, and further my understanding of the concepts which interest me. Below are some of these explorations.
