The striping patterns created on these two blankets are derived from the chat history between my best friend and myself. Blue yarns indicate them sending a message to me, grey yarns indicate me sending a message to them, and white yarns note that change of the day. The paper strips show a visual of the message patterns I collected reviewing our conversations.

This pouf-style chair represents time I spent sitting down for a two week period of August 2022. Each yarn in the work denotes a specific activity, driving, eating meals, watching television, etc. The thickness of each stripe points to the length of time, one yarn representing ten minutes of time spent doing each activity.

The tactile data present in “Knotty Waffle” comes from the tied together scrap threads, left over from every fiber project I created from my 2021-2022. Like a scrapbook, each thread holds a memory of an artwork that, when woven together, creates a new artwork in its own right. The extra-prominent grid innate to the waffle weave structure visually emphasizes this weaving as remnants of past weavings.
