Stubborn Tangles 

These are woven studies for Stubborn Tangles - a series of handwoven tapestries to be created on a TC2 Jacquard loom in 2025. 

The work explores bodies in protest—locking arms and legs, forming human chains, sit-ins, and vigils—to examine collective action. It highlights the body as a tool of resistance, emphasizing unity in a time when far-right regimes and conspiracies seek to divide communities and destabilize nations.

Using TC2 technology allows me to weave key photographic details into textiles, creating works that merge the pictorial qualities of painting and photography with the rich materiality of weaving.
