这次的一系列作品采用了我的挤压涂装工艺在合成纺织品缝制的基材上。在我驻留在中国的这段时间里，我观察到聚丙烯编织袋广泛的用于运输，包括布料，包装，回收用品，土壤等各种物品......我看到这些编织袋巧妙的堆积在自行车和电动车上从一个地方送去另一个地方。我使用了在上海生产的3D-间隔聚酯网，这种材料经常用于制造跑鞋，我把它看做一次一步地传输着我们的脚。我还用了一些日常的功能性材料，如海绵和毛巾（用于运输污垢/污垢，水和肥皂），或者像抽屉衬垫，用来防止物体运输。

我的作品通过让人联想到服装布料片段的图像来体现纺织的主题。在美国中西部长大，我的母亲是一位女裁缝，教她四个女儿缝。我们每年夏天都在地下室里花了几个小时努力完成新的服装。我在上海去了了许多服装店和裁缝店，听到蝉鸣声，感受到与我小时候的夏天一样的弥漫的湿气和热量，让我感到我被带回了童年。

This body of work employs my extrusion painting process on substrates sewn from synthetic textiles. Here at my residency in China, I’ve observed polypropylene woven sacks being used to transport everything from fabrics, packages, recycling, soil... They’re seen piled high on bicycles and scooters getting ingeniously from one place to another. I use 3D-spacer polyester mesh produced here in Shanghai and often used in the manufacturing of running shoes which transport our feet one deliberate step at a time. I’ve included everyday, functional materials such as sponges and towels (used to transport dirt/grime, water, and soap) or in the case of drawer liner to keep objects from transport.

Another observation here in China is the resourcefulness of playful problem-solving. I'm inspired by the flow of tasks unimpeded by the restriction of rules and guidelines for workers by the government. (Surprisingly there is more freedom here in many ways.) This too brings me back to the spirit of my childhood. These paintings, the shapes, connections, and materials therein are an attempt to revisit that resourceful play.
