Tones of deep denim blue, soft graphite, and gentle gold trace sculptural arcs across a layered field. Light catches on raised forms and tiny points of brightness, suggesting stars, breadcrumbs, or quiet signals of direction. The surface feels both ancient and emerging — like a map made in motion, or pathways rediscovered through touch and patience.

Calibrating Expansion honors the quiet, powerful work of growing into more space — of stretching beyond what once felt familiar while staying rooted in what’s true.

The surface begins with delicate layers of tissue and cheesecloth — translucent, breathable, like the first soft foundation of a new idea. Hand-dyed threads and twines are placed intentionally, creating lines of energy and direction without a single mechanical stitch.

From this ground, a sculptural medium emerges: a hand-formed pulp created by breaking down reclaimed fibers and discarded book pages, recombining them into a tactile, moldable material. Shaped by hand into curved, dimensional pathways, it becomes a raised topography — evidence of choosing, adjusting, and expanding with intention rather than force.

Embedded bits of text and found objects rest within the layers like quiet markers of where you’ve been — reminders that growth isn’t a departure, but an accumulation.

A piece about widening your capacity, trusting the curve of transformation, and stepping into the next chapter with steadiness and wonder.
