ARTIST STATEMENT: I produced this body of 12 pieces with Slovakian silk artist Anna Majernikova. The pieces not only have a vibrant aesthetic, but they are meaningful based on the chosen narrative.

On each piece, the words are not clearly legible because they serve as texture, as a design element and as a way of infusing the piece with significance. They are written with metallic ink that constrains the color and allows for interesting shapes in the negative spaces of the letterforms to emerge.

Each work or series has a distinctive feel relevant to its own story.
