At the end of 2020, I started weaving intentionally while I recovered from Trigeminal Neuralgia, one of the most painful conditions known which causes sudden and severe facial and brain pain. After months of being bed-ridden and taking intense medication, my miraculous healing process began and I slowly improved.
Once I regained my strength, I flung myself into my lifetime dream of weaving, and creating macrame, and fiber-art pieces. In 2021 I launched “Threads of Moonlight”. I create pieces mostly at night, once my kids are asleep and the world slows down.
In my weaving work I explore themes related to nervous system regulation, somatic embodiment, inner child work, and self-regulation as tools to overcome anxiety, self-abandonment, enmeshment bonds and trauma.
I’m a filmmaker by day, focused on telling stories of intergenerational trauma, healing and transformation. In the late hours of the night, I bring out my loom and cords and weave stories, knot by knot.
