Thrilled to be selected for an exhibition in the USA at Textile Center for the US National Basketry Association Basketry Now 2025.
Silenced Voices
Sound is silenced when the air is removed from a bell jar. This sculpture represents how a bell jar is placed over women’s voices by politicians, police, and the media when we raise our voices for action to address violence against women. It’s a call to shatter the bell jar so voices are no longer silenced – let them soar, unbound, unheard no more. It’s woven using intricate and complex weaving techniques that create repetitive patterns using recycled copper electrical wire – painstakingly unwound from an electricity powerline.

Exhibit Runs: July 29th – October 18th, 2025
