Birds is an evolving tapestry series that uses avian imagery as a lens to explore adaptation, survival, and shared environment. Drawn from the shifting ecology of California, the works reflect moments of watchfulness, movement, and quiet transformation within human-altered landscapes. Each tapestry is built through intensive textile processes—tufting, embroidery, and handwork—where labor, repetition, and material presence mirror the slow rhythms of observation and change.
Though grounded in the natural world, Birds speaks to collective experience: how we inhabit place, respond to disruption, and move through cycles of tension and calm. The suspended stillness of the birds holds a charged space between fragility and resilience, inviting viewers into reflection rather than spectacle.
