Built through the accumulation of individual crocheted forms, the surface develops over time through repetition, tension, and continuous growth. Each stitch records a repeated motion, a measured tension, and the duration of its making. The process is slow and additive, unfolding in a way that parallels how land is shaped through gradual and continuous change.
The material carries a direct connection to place. The wool used throughout the piece comes from sheep raised in upstate New York, grounding the work in the landscape where it was made. Wool is grown and shaped by climate, terrain, and care before it is ever worked by hand. Through crochet, it evolves and extends, building a second layer of record through labor and repetition.
The surface develops like terrain. Dense areas compress and settle while others open and shift, suggesting the effects of erosion, movement, and the cumulative impacts of human and naturally driven forces over time. A fluorescent green moves through the structure, embedded within it rather than applied to the surface. It reads as a trace of what has been introduced, absorbed, and left behind.
