My work is a love poem to my craft, the act of making, and the women who have taught and shaped my journey within it. Rooted in tradition, my work celebrates clothing as both lineage and archive. 

Drawing on my Spanish ancestry I am inspired by the textile practices of the women who came before me. In sewing, knitting, and lacemaking, we created and worked together, building community over needle and thread. Often these circles would construct dowries or wedding dresses to be passed down and preserved from generation to generation. 

The use of text in this collection is to emphasize the role that writing  has in passing these connections down through generations. These pieces incorporate text from an antique Spanish traditional clothing textbook, personal letters, and phrases that were written with the same care the women behind this craft incorporate into each stitch of their work.
