Installation

What if the mundane periphery of our lives can be a site for transformation, a threshold of poetic possibility? I am fascinated by the way cracks record time and reveal tension, and the vast yet intimate nature of sunbeams. I document and trace shifting shadows and sunlight. I crouch down close to cracks in paths and parking lots, filling them—sometimes with fallen petals, often with paper pulp. The materials I use embody a tension between fragility and strength. Whether remaining on-site or transformed into sculptures, drawings, and prints, these gestures suspend moments of transience and vulnerability in physical form.
