The geometric patterns of a
mandala represent the essence of
the universe as a harmonious
system. Weaving, as a structure and
a process, embodies rhythm and
order. By combining plastics and

textile technique in which two distinct
layers are loom-woven
simultaneously. The layers undulate
and intersect, exploring the grace of
geometry.

of Dimensional-Weave™ which
combines ancient weaving,
traditional metalsmithing and
contemporary materials. She
creates sculpture and jewelry,
woven on a floor loom with metals
and plastics. Her forms are
inspired by the elegance of
geometry.

Artist Statement

By interlacing textiles with jewelry
metal arts, I combine an ancient
cloth-making technique with
contemporary materials to create
dimensional weave jewelry. The
gracefulness of supple curves
and the beauty of geometry are
expressed through undulating
forms of metal and monofilament.
