This series explores relationships between humans, nature, memory, and the unseen through abstract felted forms that function as contemporary altars. Using wool, flax, ramie, and silk, I create soft sculptures through wet and needle felting, transforming loose fibers into dense vessel-like forms through water, friction, and sustained pressure.

In this body of work, I draw from alchemical and Jungian ideas of transformation, particularly the concept of nigredo, exploring shadow work and the emergence of awareness through material process. Influenced by animism, ecofeminism, and the aesthetics of Catholic ritual I encountered growing up in South Louisiana, I approach fibers as collaborators and allow intuitive processes to guide the emergence of form. Through repetition, compression, and transformation, the series invites viewers to slow down and engage the quiet connections linking personal experience, collective memory, ecology, and inner life.
