Small Fiber art leaf in Jute

Leaf is a sculptural fiber artwork inspired by the delicate yet resilient structure of botanical forms. Small: 20 x 12 x 0.5 in   2019 – Present This piece is inspired by the quite beauty of leaves–their intricate vein like patterns and their ability to hold both strength and softness. Through careful knotting and combing, I shaped the fibers to echo the natural patterns found in these botanical forms. Each strand is individually knotted, then meticulously combed and aligned to follow the gentle curve of a leaf. In this work I use up-cycled cotton, giving new life to existing materials while exploring the relationship between craft and sustainability. The process is slow and meditative. I spend extensive time refining the silhouette, adjusting tension, and shaping the fibers so the final form feels fluid, balanced, and organic.
