Visual threads

Structures that hold

Objects and architectural motifs act as symbolic mediators and condense implicit narratives.

From the artist's dossier

Frames, ladders, boxes and drawn architecture recur from the first oils to the stitched panels. Trained as an interior designer, the artist draws the structures that promise stability and then lets something organic escape them.
