This project combines my love of working with fibers and textiles with my inherent need to draw. The concept revolves around the idea that the Universe is multi-dimensional. Because of personal experiences, I have come to believe that events are not random and there are different planes that exist beyond the physical realm.
Integrating graphite and fiber, I am exploring line in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional form. Lights and darks are used to create a sense of movement and flow across the surface of the fabric ground. Value change also gives the illusion of depth, which refers to another dimension or plane. Finally, the cording provides an actual three-dimensional aspect to the piece. Negative space typically places an important roll in my drawings. In this case, it represents the unknown of all existence of which we are a part.
You talk a lot about this being an inherent need for you and you've been thinking about hanging it in some sort of circular way. I wonder what it would look like if you were to hang it in a spiral way that would lend itself to a strand of DNA. This need is inherent in you and you have also talked about the importance of circles to you, this would be a sort of circular structure. Also, DNA could be considered another dimension within ourselves, one that we have no control over but what makes up so much of ourselves. Circles can be distorted, exaggerated, etc. Just a thought. :) If you were to embrace this direction it could be hung freely from the ceiling and take on a 3D form.
