Mater Matrix Mother and Medium: Topography

This is a portion of a larger artwork: Mater Matrix Mother and Medium that began with the creation of a 200-foot fiber river, created in part through a series of over 30 community events all over Seattle. I taught anyone willing to learn how to crochet. I then took the fiber pools into the forest of Camp Long in West Seattle and spent nearly six weeks on a ladder crocheting the river into the trees. –Artist statement
