Wire Work explores the artist’s conflicted relationship with the written word—particularly the traditional novel—through a series of sculptural pieces that merge found imagery with wire and thread. Growing up with dyslexia, the artist experienced reading not as a source of enrichment, but as a recurring frustration. Books often felt like impenetrable objects, generating anxiety rather than understanding. These works arise from that struggle—a quiet, physical resistance to the authority of the page.

Each image is mounted within a handmade wire frame and sewn in place with a single, deliberate stitch. This lone thread becomes a point of tension—just enough to hold the work, yet never fully secure. It reflects the fragility of the artist’s connection to language and the tenuous grasp they’ve maintained on the literary structures that never quite welcomed them.

One image features a horse mid-scream, frozen in black and white, trapped inside its wire boundary. It stands as a visceral metaphor for the artist’s experience: a living thing caught in the static confines of the book, desperate to escape. The wire here is both prison and scaffold—containing the chaos while hinting at motion beyond the frame.

Ultimately, Wire Work is a series of intimate rebellions. It is about making peace with discomfort, about transforming exclusion into expression—and about finding joy in the act of unbinding.
