The cloth remembers before the artist does.

 I have spent a lifetime gathering fragments—vintage textiles, worn fabrics, handwoven cloth, forgotten treasures—often without knowing why they called to me. 

Years later, one piece will suddenly find its home. 

What once seemed like collecting now feels more like listening. 

Each Stitched Relic begins with that quiet recognition: 

the cloth has been carrying the story all along.

I no longer begin by asking, What shall I make? 

Instead, I ask, What wishes to become visible? 

That question has become both my creative practice and my invitation. 

Each piece is an offering to slow down, to look more closely, and to enter a world where even the smallest fragment may be holding something sacred.
