New Directions in 3D Fiber Art In the Studio

A closer look at an evolving three-dimensional studio practice.

New Directions in 3D Fiber Art In the Studio

For the past few months, I’ve been diving deep into exploration mode — testing ideas, techniques, and materials in the studio. Recently, something shifted. My experiments in 3D fiber art have taken on a more defined structure. I’m beginning to develop repeatable methods and I’ve completed a few sculptural objects that represent a major breakthrough in my process.

What excites me most is the strength of the concept unfolding. The dimensionality isn’t just physical — it’s conceptual. Each piece is part of a growing narrative. “Art is an experiment, not a perfection. Each step leads you somewhere new.” I’m not creating for perfection — I’m creating to discover.

My current technique fuses weaving and sculpting. I create flat woven sheets using threads of various thicknesses — from embroidery threads to chunky yarn — then mold the sheet over a form to create a shape that lives somewhere between a pot and a basket. These hybrid sculptural vessels carry echoes of both traditions while pushing toward something entirely new.
