I approach my content-based art much as a painter approaches a canvas, a surface upon which to build the original idea. I am very process-oriented; the potential for discovery on the fabric during the process is what excites me. 

Nevertheless, many decisions I make are not arbitrary. The choice of fabric, ultimate composition, and final stitched details are all considered as necessary visual analogies in servitude of the content. 

This process of inquiry, discovery and decision making is my way of processing what I need to express while simultaneously discovering visual results that are perfect for each work of art.
