Threads of Memory:
Weaving Emotion into Fiber
THE PROCESS OF CREATING "MINDFULLNESS"
Some stories cannot be spoken. Some emotions refuse to be contained by paint alone. Instead, they demand to be woven, stitched, bound into form—tangled in fibers that hold tension, release, and resilience.
Embroidery is a visceral language. Most of the artists I idolize, adore, feel an emotional connection to without even knowing them are fiber artists. Every thread pulled through canvas is an act of mending, a stitch in the timeline of healing. Each fiber carries intention—whether tightly wound and knotted in places of grief, or loosely draped in surrender. These hand-sewn details do not conceal wounds; they illuminate them, honoring both the fraying and the fortification that follows.
Our textile assemblages are layered with fragments of the past—torn linen, raw wool, salvaged fabric, and fiber steeped in history. Some pieces are dyed by hand, absorbing the muted hues of natural pigments, while others remain untouched, their rawness a quiet contrast to the painted surface they inhabit. These materials are carriers of memory, tactile remnants of something once whole, now reimagined.

The process is slow, meditative, and deeply personal. A needle piercing canvas, weaving through layers of paint and texture, mirrors the work of rebuilding—of piecing together what was unraveled. The fibers catch the light, casting shadows, shifting as the viewer moves—just as memories shift in perception over time.This is where textile meets sculpture, where softness meets structure, where the delicate and the unyielding coexist. Our embroidery and textile assemblages are not just embellishments; they are echoes of the unseen, tangible expressions of endurance, transformation, and the intricate weaving of self.
