Systems

My approach to systems is shaped by long-term participation in large-scale creative production, where material, labor, time, and coordination intersect. Through work in film and video production, artist representation, and organizational leadership, I have developed a practical understanding of how upstream decisions, often made under constraints of cost, time, and structure, carry downstream consequences for labor, resources, and accountability.

Working within production environments operating at scale made clear that sustainability is not a single action, but a chain of interdependent choices. Planning, transparency, and shared responsibility are essential not only to efficiency, but to ethical practice.

These experiences inform how I think about textile systems as networks where material sourcing, fabrication, logistics, and distribution shape environmental impact, human dignity, and long-term value. This systems awareness is grounded in my embodied textile practice, where decisions remain closely tied to their material consequences. Years of handweaving have clarified what industrial processes often obscure—that every textile is the accumulation of choices about time, labor, material, and structure. Working with restraint and repetition allows these relationships to remain visible, reinforcing my interest in durability, balance, and responsible stewardship, and in how systems negotiate tensions between scale and integrity, efficiency and care.
