About April

My work synthesizes the processes of weaving and embroidery to investigate the pattern relationships present in weave structures. The weaving draft is a polyrhythmic score, played on the loom by the weaver--a physical manifestation of a complex mathematical process. By responding to the naturally gridded architecture of woven cloth with embroidered mark making, I am writing a code with which I hope to gain a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of generative weave patterns.

Correlations

Correlations was my Thesis show at Maryland Institute College of Art. For this show I created a modular series of textile works using digital fabric printing with hand-embroidered "interruptions". These works were activated by a site-specific backdrop I created using black and white painters' tape.

Breathing Square

Breathing Square was a site-specific installation created at the Ocean Terrace Hotel as part of Tiger Strikes Asteroid's Artist-Run Fair during Miami Arts Week 2015. Platform Gallery invited me to work with them and transform a room in this abandoned hotel. In addition to installing a full show of my textile work, I created site-specific murals that responded to the architectural anomalies within the room.
