Choosing to combine traditional fiber materials with found objects and contemporary techniques 
   creates a dynamic which showcases each to its fullest potential.  Soft vs. hard, smooth vs. rough,
   new vs. old, are some of the contrasts Aryana introduces into these pieces.  Balance is created
when these issues are brought together.
