Artists’ Statement

I explore the environment through tactility, and try to grasp different phenomena using traditional textile techniques. Hand weaving and net tying are crafts with a clear structure. I employ these archaic techniques to weave stories that capture the present. I present work in the form of an installation and construct intimate spaces where relationships between different experiences and participants are interconnected.
