With my obsessive-compulsive personality, I am always wrapping my quilted fabrics and burying them underneath a woven structure. In this work, those buried forms are trying to escape their confinement in order to break free. My works have always dealt with a need to fight external forces that want to contain me within psychological barriers that keep me in line. I continually fight this notion of containment in order to break out and be free.
