Threaded Forms
Project type
Abstract Mixed Media Paintings
Date
2024
Location
Denver, CO
This collection weaves painting and embroidery into a richly layered visual language. Each piece begins as an abstract composition—painted with gestural strokes, washes, and marks—then evolves through the tactile addition of thread. Embroidery becomes both embellishment and incision, drawing new forms into the surface while bridging texture, rhythm, and repair.
"Threaded Forms" explores themes of memory, connection, and impermanence through stitched interventions that echo landscapes, scars, and constellations. The interplay of softness and precision blurs the line between craft and fine art, inviting reflection on what is held, mended, or left open. Influenced by Indigenous storytelling and fiber traditions, the work honors slowness, repetition, and the beauty of unresolved patterns.
