My thesis study explores a variety of themes voicing several binary oppositions, creating abstractforms transposed from industrial or craft-based materials. These themes include relationshipsbetween conventionally “masculine” and “feminine” roles; work versus home; dependenceversus independence; and freedom and constraint. These themes are investigated through anexploration of materiality (metal, glass and fibers) process (welding, weaving, embroidery, glassblowing)and arrangement.
