I grew up making things out of wood and electronics, but I was late hearing the language of shape. The sculptor in me came out—via the encouragement of others—after my education in engineering had led to designing kites. Most of my work is related to weaving in one way or another. Sometimes a shape just catches my eye and I try to scale it up, but often I am designing woven-work by computer to achieve a desired shape. More and more, the mathematics of how identical pieces can go together has interested me and motivated my work.
