Many of my embroideries are drawings with thread, non-traditional in the sense that I do not use or start with a pattern, or a set idea of what the drawing is to become. Several of these drawings are part of a series called "Inevitability," of which I'm interested in capturing the intricacies of natural forms such as diatoms, radiolaria, and objects and creatures imagined. The series began with inspiration from the studies of Ernst Haeckel, a naturalist and artist (among other things) who fantastically captured and published natural history from the mid-nineteenth to early-20th century.
