My artwork is a visual diary of my obsessive thoughts and humorous take on habit, identity, and time based on my own experiences. The Hyper Fem Painting series is a group of tapestry-weaving wall sculptures that pay homage to the pioneer feminist fiber artists of the 1960s and 1970s, while sarcastically embracing the new trend of fibers as the "new painting" in fine art. It appears that the medium has only gained broader recognition in recent years, since being framed as equal to the historically male-dominated traditional medium of painting. I am combining the feminine domestic softness of fibers with the more rigid illusions of color theory, traditionally associated with early 20th-century abstract painting and historically overlooking female contributions. I've been reintroducing weaving into my work over the past two years after purchasing a loom, made possible by an Artist Support Grant from the Regional Arts Commission.
