Artist Commentary

Label

In Embedded, I attempt to recreate the beauty of the human trace; Its creation and deterioration over time and the layers of history reflective of these cycles. In this work I use dry-point etching, collage, and embroidery to play with the paper's dimensionality and create physical marks with thread through the paper surface.
