A series of self-portraiture, weaving myself in both my dreams and my vulnerabilities into cloth. The digital weaving process lets me gain and relinquish control over my own image. On the computer, I manipulate my face, emphasizing the distortions of tears and sorrow, trapped in mirrors. And also I adorn myself in tears turned to metal, a snapshot of how I might see myself floating in an ethereal, liberated world. I weave these designs, and let myself and my complexities fall into the cloth, my final representation out of my control, memorialized, looking towards something more beautiful.
