Dream Yarn
With ink and paper, I draw invisible creatures that help our world. These drawings and papers are filled with hopes and dreams. Then invoking the fates I spin this paper into yarn, to actualize the hopes and dreams into reality. The yarn holds infinite possibilities, when it is balled up it holds energy. The balled yarn has the potential to be anything that is ready for us to explore. When the yarn is woven its potential has been fulfilled. With the process of spinning and weaving I am connecting with my heritage and the labor of my foremothers. I am finding ritual and connection through this process while I spin loved ones hopes and dreams into potential.
