Dialogue of a Spider
If a Spider could communicate with us how would it speak? While I was learning to spin thread by hand I began to have this question. While spinning away I started to feel like a spider and thought of all the concerns they would have, and their ability to string threads together. In this body of work I spun over 100 yards of thread and strung it up in various locations in a state of abandonment. Within my web I have suspended coal; giving a physical representation of the gravity this mineral has. It's so entangled and intermingled with every aspect of life in Southern WV that there is not part of life that it's presence isn't felt. This work allows fo ra visualization of that.
