Beneath the Surface, my solo exhibition at Cascada Thermal Springs + Hotel in Portland, Oregon.
Over the past decade, my work has become less about mastering individual fiber techniques and more about discovering the conversations that happen between them. Dyeing, felting, blending, binding, weaving, and stitching no longer exist as separate processes—they overlap, merge, and evolve together, much like memory itself.
The works in Beneath the Surface are rooted in deep, earthy color and unexpected texture. They are shaped by landscapes I've wandered, music that has filled my studio, and the people whose stories have quietly woven themselves into my own. These influences are rarely visible in obvious ways, yet they live within every layer.
What appears on the surface is only the final expression of a much longer process. Hidden beneath are years of experimentation, countless hours of making, and ten years of refining a relationship with fiber as both material and language.
This exhibition is an invitation to slow down—to look beyond the immediate texture and discover the quiet histories, connections, and transformations held within each piece.
On display at Cascada Thermal Springs + Hotel through January 2027 and available online.
