When I was little, I thought about being an archaeologist. I guess I’ve had a lifelong passion for recovering the “forgotten.” I enjoy bringing attention to the incredible potential that resides in the things and the people we take for granted.  My work at SoHE allows me to do both. The historical remains and contemporary products of textile and design cultures and the processes they embody invite us to make time in our busy lives for inspiration, reflection, and transformation.  A single work of art or well-designed tool can open us up to new ways of seeing and being and instill in us a robust optimism about what it means to be human.
