Place as Matter - Rejmyre, Sweden 2009
The works I made during this workshop have been reflections on physical and metaphysical understandings of place.  Discovering place as matter and place as a source. This has come to me through making with my hands and processing my thoughts, focusing primarily on the process of making instead of the result.  These process-based explorations took the form of a series of yarn and plastic thread structures.  I used the open attic space as a sort of serious playground, letting the work emerge organically from a process of play.  Sometimes beginning from a preconceived form and other times just from a single point allowing the structure to reveal itself in the course of my making
