Faced with the structural constraints of the dobby loom's loose and narrow weaving width, I engineered a customizable draw-string reticule bag inspired by the V & A's rich and extensive collection of 18th century "pocket" bags. By mixing knitted and woven fabric I designed a simple cylindrical bag with an 8" x 18" swatch, shaping it through wet and dry felting as well as dying the fabric with madder root.

This dual weave-knit final, alongside my Shepherdess capelet, strengthens my narrative; gender, labor, and history.

My weaving practice envisions a future where textiles are aconduit for preservation, creativity, and connection—betweenpeople, landscape, and tradition. Rooted in the scenery of theHudson Valley, I use cloth-making as a way to build community,resist systems of exclusion, and celebrate the tenderness founding nature and handmade work.

I explore the stories embedded in materials: wool, linen, hemp,and natural dyes - all local to honor the tactile knowledge passeddown through generations. I am inspired by the functionalityand beauty of handmade garments and textiles, which holdspace for both daily use and poetic expression.

My work values conscious, sustainable ways of making. It is acall to remember that textiles are not only objects but vesselsof memory, labor, and history. Whether through heirloom laceor experimental tapestry, I aim to make work that nurturesreflection - between self and others, past and future, and handand tool.

Prompt: What is your ideal future?

I envision a community rooted in care and creativity, located in the Hudson Valley. Set in the lush and mountainous landscape of Upstate New York, I imagine this future commune encourages a connection between people and nature, where textiles are a language of unity, resilience, and community building - as that’s the true nature of textile making.

This world resists control, exclusion, and isolation, and nurtures regeneration, opportunity, and freedom to express. My current practice explores fabric-making as a tool for functionality and material storytelling. I’m drawn to the potential of garments and workwear - durable, modular items designed for a myriad of daily activities - whether you're crafting, gardening, hiking, etc.Materials like wood, linen, wool, and hemp in the northeastern U.S. form the cornerstone of this “ideal future”. The landscape that inspires my pieces.

My aesthetic choices exhibit the colors and textures available: meadow grass, fluffy white sheep, the sweet juice of a berry, flowers, and splashes of color in the sky. I hope to expand on this idea by sourcing materials locally, such as natural dyeing with weld, cabbage, marigold, and beyond, or perhaps learn to shear my own sheep. Weaving has quickly become my medium of choice to describe my values.Through double-weave, tapestry, and lace, my mark consists of contrasting textures, surface manipulation, and “drawing” with yarn. I’m especially interested in the textile as a bridge between past and present, and social/cultural resilience. I love nothing more than uncovering family textiles - heirlooms like my grandmother’s needlepoint, lace doilies, and woven tablecloths. The material acts as a vessel of history: connection, travel, and labor. When thinking about the future, especially with technological advancements, my community would prioritize handmade items - constructed with intention, and meant to last.
