machine embroidery, muslin, thread, found frames
The idea for these embroideries began in my sketchbook while I was trying to write poems. My hand would begin to write a letter and slip into an indecipherable shape. I would fill the page with shapes that were almost letters. I came to embroidery as an avenue into tactility, and I worked on these compositions by manipulating my machine embroidery software into making shapes it was not designed to make.
