White Nymphaea

Artist Statement: My current work begins with my own botanical photographs. From them I create computer-manipulated digital images that will impart a strong visual impact when woven. Using computer-aided weave design and a variety of materials, I am able to produce weavings that are both highly complex structurally and rich with surface interest. I draw upon my background in mathematics, computer programming, photography and weaving to translate my photographic images of plant forms into wall pieces that resonate with both the art of photography and the long history of textile creation.
