The project Strong Correlations embraces the context that allows me to be an academic and jock, fiber artist and computer geek. It is also a challenge to the lingering assumptions and power dynamics that complicate my experience as woman, artist and athlete. This collection of felt and fabric sculptures, chalk drawings and data visualizations uses weightlifting as subject matter while working through questions about disciplinary structures, levels of representation and the relationship between information and meaning.
