Winter Repairs - Coming to the Websop Friday, March 13, 2026 3pm eastern.
These small works (5.5 × 8.5 in) are composed of fragments of handwoven cloth made on my loom and collected over many years. During a quiet winter residency at Penland School of Craft in the mountains of Western North Carolina, I found myself turning away from weaving new fabric and instead slowly piecing together these remnants with many hand stitches.
The woven fragments are collaged and hand-quilted onto a thick ivory wool felt ground. The process became a way of slowing down and gently mending what felt broken or disjointed in my life—gathering fragments of cloth, time, and memory. As Louise Bourgeois described, the work becomes a form of psychological repair.
These pieces hold a period of time where I slowed enough to stitch each strand into place. Now they are ready to move on and live in new homes, where they can take on new meaning for others.
The works may be framed, or mounted on a small wood support with velcro so they hover slightly away from the wall. When shown together, the pieces can be arranged across the wall like a quiet constellation.
