Weaving is an incredibly ancient art and has carried many purposes throughout our co-existence through human hands on this planet. The metaphor for weaving lends itself to the philosophy that we are all inter-connected, and bound together, ultimately a part of one another, and to share words from the Mayan creation story found in the Popol Vuh, “A cord was brought and stretched in the sky and over the Earth, on the four corners”. This Great Cosmic Seam (Klein, 1982) is what I am bringing into visual representation when I physically weave, for these places have all reached out to my soul, they are ultimately another aspect of me, of all of us.

Aspects of Nature- such as seaweeds, driftwood, roots, bark and other plant material reach out toward me, made it apparent that they want to co-create with me. While involved in the co-creation process, a meditative state of consciousness is cultivated. When a weaving is complete, they are birthed through me, and are ensouled beings, they carry a life to whomever they encounter.

This collection of woven sculptures is an embodiment of a true co-creation on the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
