I am a handweaver and scientist exploring identity and connection to place, primarily through my family's connection to the weaving trade stretching over at least seven generations. I combine ancestry research, genetic data and explorations of materiality (physical and digital) to create one-of-a-kind and small batch handwoven textile objects that give physical form to data/information. I also consider ways to create digital experiences of objects and processes.
- Focus:
- telling stories of genetics & ancestry through handwoven objects
