Curatorial Statement

Our dreams of being held, safe and protected by our culture are becoming a reality. To embrace, and be embraced by your culture means to be surrounded by warmth, beauty, comfort and style. Through playful joyousness, practicality, embracing our teachings, and acknowledging the ones that came before us, each of these textile-based works show the possibilities of being wrapped in the presence of your culture.
