ARTIST’S STATEMENT
NEW DIRECTIONS
One of the most remarkable things about living in our current age is that human beings can preserve, transmit, and hear one another’s voices, even when separated by space and time. During the COVID pandemic, the voices of distant loved ones soothed us and helped us overcome our isolation. In more normal times, voices guide us, imparting information in a way that is not constrained by time or direction. Voices evoke every emotion, and even transcend the sense of hearing – to me, for instance, each one has its own color. This tapestry was inspired by a digital voice print – it captures in a visual and tactile way the auditory experience of communicating through voice. The found materials that it uses represent the physical transmission of sound and the endurance of the human voice across time – past, present, and future.
