TEXTILE WALL SCULPTURE SERIES

My Creative Process

This series began during an unexpected window of solitude. My husband and children were away visiting family, and for the first time in a decade, I found myself completely alone—free to shape my days, my space, and my creative rhythm. I transformed the entire house into a studio, redesigning and rearranging it to reflect the creative world I had been dreaming into for years.

In the midst of this newfound spaciousness, news arrived that my mother-in-law had been rushed to hospital. My heart ached. I’m no stranger to grief, but in the past, I often coped by shutting down—staying busy so I wouldn’t have to feel. After a decade of deep inner work, facilitating healing circles with the moon cycles, and soul-listening, I knew I wanted to choose differently.

This time, I allowed myself to feel everything.

Instead of turning away, I created space for the emotion to move through me. Art has always been my most honest way of processing the inner landscape, so I surrendered to the practice. Hour after hour, I immersed myself in forming circular shapes—soft yet structured, fluid yet intentional. Each piece held my love, my trust, and my willingness to surrender to what was unfolding.

As I worked, I touched a deeper current beneath the grief—a sense of meaning, connection, and continuity. In the flow state, everything dissolves: resistance, expectation, the illusion of right or wrong. What remains is presence. What remains is truth.

This series is the imprint of that moment in my life: a weaving of emotion, healing, and the quiet wisdom that emerges when we let ourselves feel fully.
