My work creates a dialog between textiles, spirituality and embedded culture. Using cultural motifs and text, I combine video and interactive textiles to create a space for experiencing to unearth historical information about spirituality and its purpose in the transformation of the conscious and unconscious mind.
Recently funded to go to India to research Cloth of the Mother Goddess, a hand painted cotton textile from Gujarat I created the 27 minute documentary "Unconscious Eloquence".
