This body of work is a meditation on the thread in both its literal and metaphoric sense. Certain paintings depict a single thread as a kind of playful sculptural monolith. Others are meditations on weaving. Through the process of weaving, a multiplicity of individual threads are bound together to form a single new thing—a single textile. These paintings take up this theme by referencing classic weaving diagrams that depict the interrelationship of warp and weft. In each type of work, the softness and malleability of the thread/textile gives way to the fixed and almost sculptural image, in which a given thread takes on the role of a kind of curvy protagonist.
