The Lure series originated from my participation in the Design After Dark 2014 fundraiser by the Design Council of the Denver Art Museum, themed CAST. Faced with time constraints, I embraced the concept of fishing and rekindled my love for fabric sculpture.

Lure is named for its dual significance, drawing inspiration from both the fishing bait and the captivating ability of living things to bewitch and captivate. This series embodies a celebration of color, pattern, texture, detail, and form. I approached each piece with a sense of honesty and play, finding a profound joy in the act of making itself.

In 2022, I revisited the series, producing five new pieces with a renewed sense of purpose. These additions to the collection retain the distinctive style and humor characteristic of the series, serving as a genuine expression of my artistic process and enduring devotion to craftsmanship.
