In The Wandering Alphabet I use my sewing machine as an improvisational tool and chance as a collaborator. Meandering through pre-set alphabets meant to be used in an orderly and meticulous fashion, I intentionally careen off in whatever direction occurs to me in the moment. The result is a line drawing that I could not have planned had I tried. Paired with the asemic writing that results are bits of fabric, outtakes from “failed” pieces, and scraps clamoring for a new life.
