As a fiber artist, taming materials has always been a challenge for met. Compiling, constructing, amassing, joining and tying together all are a part of the process that I explore. I have ‘made friends with’ cable ties. They enable me to dwell in the process.

This piece is symbolic of the bonds between grandmother and grandchild. As we took in our teenage granddaughter, I was naive to the impact that raising a teenage girl would have upon me as an older woman. My world was rocked by the drama of youth and impacted by hours of sitting and talking—hours which I spent working with my hands, as I integrated the New. This piece is a dialog of that process reflected in my art. It is a testament to the outcome of the union between us, expressing harmony and joy, plus tension.
