The In Between
The In Between is a specific state of consciousness that floats between wakefulness and full sleep, where my subconscious is active but I am still lucid enough to recognize and remember images, colors, shapes, and forms. These pieces do not stem from active intent, but rather their meanings begin to take shape as I work on them. I often don’t understand why a specific image sticks with me, but as I go through the process of bringing it into life, sketching out the concept and spending hours on tufting and stitching, I get to sit with the image.
In the time that it takes me to create the piece, it begins to mean something to me.
