The Creating Process
"My work starts with a single secured knot, the point that holds everything that follows. Each piece is machine-embroidered, slowly and intentionally: choosing a thread, working out a line, sitting with it until it's right.
That's where the meaning actually lives.
What's left at the end is really just a record, a marker of wherever I was in my life when I made it.
A landscape, a face, a feeling: the subject changes, but each piece is quietly holding its own stretch of time.
Nothing here is performance. It's made with care, and it's real."
