Crooked Path Studios

This body of work grows through improv quilting, slow stitching, and experimental printmaking on fabric. I work without a fixed pattern, making decisions about shape, color, line, and texture in response to what the materials are doing rather than what a plan dictates.

In this way, the work becomes a different kind of knowing—one that emerges through touch, repetition, and adjustment over time. Fabric carries memory in multiple ways: through color, through its connection to people and experiences, and through the act of making itself. A piece can hold the history of where its materials came from, alongside the quieter record of its construction—hours of stitching, moments of pause, even the surrounding rhythms of daily life.

These textiles reflect a way of knowing that is layered and relational rather than fixed. Meaning builds slowly through use, handling, and association, allowing each piece to hold both its past and the ongoing process of becoming.
