"This work is from my 'quilt painting' series. Since moving to the Catskill Mountains in Upstate NY, I've become very interested in the tradition of women quilting. Due to a connective tissue disorder, my body can't sustain the physical acts of quilting so I decided to explore the visual language of the art-form through an ongoing series of paintings. I often depict historical experiences of women through these paintings, but with narratives rewritten to right traumas and produce more cathartic outcomes for the characters. I also use the simple graphics in these pieces to interact with eras I have interest in but don't necessarily want to depict in a highly specific or naturalistic way, like British pre-history. Historical architecture and archeology have always been a fascination of mine. 'Bronze Age Roundhouse' reflects my interest of the deep past of the British Isles."
