ARTIST STATEMENT
The Timekeeper series hovers between embroidery, painting, drawing, and soft sculpture—each one a spiral tracing time and memory. The spiral becomes a visual mantra, embodying the existential dilemma and delight of living within unstoppable time: its relentless forward motion, its circling returns, and our deeply human impulse to mark its passage.
Stitch by stitch, the spiral grows outward from a central origin, echoing the cyclical nature of life and the quiet energy spirals produce. Like the rings in a tree trunk, each line of stitching maps time, emotion, and experience—capturing heartbreaks, joys, injuries, revisited again and again as the stitch line returns on itself while persistently moving forward. The humanness of each sometimes-wonky stitch is intentionally left, a mark of presence and vulnerability. They are records of lived time.
Gardens of layered oil paint lie beneath the embroidered stitches on the linen substrate, while Morse code messages chatter from within the stitches—emitting secret transmissions, an archive of invisible information embedded in the work.
With each Timekeeper, I focus on the journey of the stitch, the act of marking time, the intimacy of repetition. What may appear futile becomes, instead, a meditation, where imperfection and process animate each spiral, giving it an energy of its own.
