My work begins with photography—images made quickly and intuitively, often while traveling with my family between Texas and Oregon. These photographs emerge from moments of motion and interruption, when something in the landscape demands to be seen before it disappears.

I use textile processes such as quilting and weaving to slow these images down. What starts as a fleeting photograph is translated into fabric through repetition, stitching, and labor, extending a split-second encounter into something deliberate and held. The transformation from lens to textile allows urgency and stillness to exist at the same time.

By merging photographic imagery with traditional textile practices, my work explores how memory is formed through movement, how time can be stretched through making, and how moments that pass quickly can be steadied through material and care.
