As a fiber artist working with the disregarded and discarded plastics that reign superior in our consumer driven society, I would like to take some responsibility for my personal exploits of our planet's resources. Repetitive processes such as weaving, sewing, knitting and crocheting form basic surface and structure for the further development of a visual and metaphorical bond between man-made materials and man, the creator. Sights, signs, smell and sound inflict upon my senses as I migrate through the familiar places and faces of Philadelphia. Entranced in repetitive motion, the world around me becomes a blur of line, shape, color and form. It bleeds to a woven pattern trapped in mind, until my hand constructs surface to mimics the man-destructed highs, lows, peaks and blows I find.
