In weaving, the warp is the vertical plane of resistance, representing a chosen path as do the blank canvas, the empty page, and the sculptor’s block. The weft is the horizontal element, the hand and the will of the artist. Together the woven threads mark the progress of time.

The voice of the thread leads the artist, carrying the emotional and tactile memory of the weaver's journey. Textiles with their subtle energy sustain our collective fiber history as they emerge from the implicit grid of the loom.
