encountered legacies

Textiles hold history in their very fibers. The legacy of handwork—traditionally carried by women through necessity or choice—is an enduring lineage where some threads vanish and others remain unbroken. My recent travels brought me face-to-face with these global traditions, encountering the stories of makers worldwide while simultaneously unearthing my own ancestral ties to the medium. Encountered Legacies explores these intersections. By deconstructing rescued textiles, the work honors the collective memory of the hands that came before, while charting a highly personal path forward.
