This shaped work depicts an abstracted form of a woman walking through the streets of the city at night. In this depiction, she’s completely consumed by the energy in the air and she’s tuning in to some force that's bigger than herself. All the light and dark blue designs around her at the top are all free-form woven.

Tapestry woven on a 4-harness floor loom. This work tells the story of a young woman who is shooting heroin in a bathroom down in the city at 3 am. In the mania of her high, she's floating above the city, moving towards the steps of city hall, bringing her problems there.
