In an effort to challenge the original definition of basketry, I explore contemporary interpretations of this traditional craft utilizing non-traditional materials. I incorporate common, urban objects in uncommon ways, while maintaining my deep commitment to the conventional fiber vessel. For me, the vessel is a metaphor containing our life processes. My work emphasizes communication. My pieces speak for me, allowing me to express myself. I use this "visual language" as an emotional and personal vocabulary. My hope is that others will understand this dialogue as they view my work.
