“A state of fray captures that in-between moment when possibility is becoming and certainty unwinds. This body of work is a deeper look at, into and across the raw edges of things. Under a magnified lens, paper appears as a complex, interconnected web of fibers. Poetically, Thich Nhat Hanh described this as interbeing. I explore relationalities through material such as mulberry fiber, silk, and worn sacred cloth, engaging with the cultural narratives they embody. Cloth that has been worn by people can speak to subtle sensory worlds, steep us in symbolism or stories of the past, ushering forth new rituals. Taking form as dendritic extensions, stitching motifs, veils of pulp, or imperceptible orange specks of fabric, edges converge to become more than the sum of their parts. The intertwining network is a transitional zone, a dynamic interfacing between matter and metaphysical epistemologies. All edges are flows of fray. Impermanence as no arrival of home, yet emergence, ever-present.”
