Artist's statement

My quilted wall hangings consist of layers of the following techniques: appliqué, reverse appliqué, piecing, natural and synthetic dyeing, needle-felting, hand printing, and a variety of embroidery stitches. There is an overall balance between hand and machine work.

My current work combines aerial photography, maps, and satellite imagery. I also find myself drawn to the more minute systems of the microbial world. I enjoy the play in scale between magnified microbial life forms and remote sensing images of huge tracts of land. Both scales deal with the translation of scientific information into a visual form. At times these separate bodies of work merge. The overlap is seen in vessel-like arteries of water, tundra pools that look cellular, and microbes that swim through topographic lines.

It is the use of maps in organizing our ideas of land that interests me most of all. Often people ask me for specifics about the places and symbols in my work. Most of my pieces are not consciously based on specific places. For me they are intimate explorations of map language and imagined landscapes. Through my research and experience I have decided that maps create more questions than they answer.

The Pioneer Plaque


How would you communicate with a being with whom you did not share any common knowledge? The Pioneer plaque attempts to do just that. Engraved on panels of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft launched in 1972 and 1973 respectively, the plaques attempt to describe humans, our solar system and our place in the universe using images and mathematical calculations. Sagan, Drake and Haogland assumed the plaque could be decoded by an intelligent alien civilization that happened across the probes during their infinite journey through the space beyond our solar system after their missions to observe Jupiter and Saturn.
