Working with both the process and concept of weaving, unweaving, and reweaving text into cloth, these works play with the metaphor of linking text and memory with woven canvas. The word "text" etymologically stems from the Latin "texere," which literally means "to weave." Representing the ways in which we socially communicate, or mis-communicate, through Facebook status updates, these weavings physically depict the layering of constructed and deconstructed sentences until the point of obliteration.  The cloth becomes a tangible holder of temporal information and data, visualizing the dynamic and information-ridden online community while suggesting that we are all linked through a complex network of interconnected threads.
