Much of my recent work with woven photographs began with archived family photos from the 1970s, many of which feature prominent plaids and strong graphic elements from that era.
Both plaid and the physical structure of woven fabric represent connection and transition- threads intersecting to create something whole. My textile work explores these visual and symbolic cues more deeply, drawing attention to documented family relationships and questioning how generational memory shifts as these images are interpreted through more subtle and abstract forms.
Whether working with family photos or, more recently, my own photography, the process remains: reassembling images through hand-woven renderings of the originals, re-forming the moments and acknowledging the passage of time.
