Reflections of Home
“In many ways, transience, instability and upheaval have influenced the ways in which I move and make. This piece was made to soften my gaze when looking into my past, and to rectify feelings of confusion and loss that surround my consistent spacial movement. Each pane is etched with the topographical map of areas I have lived in my adult life. By overlaying this pattern on mirror, I am able to view how the spacial landscapes of my life as have embossed themselves on my current personage.”
Hands OnA on-going series of photos that capture the practice of presence and tangible understanding. In an emerging world of the digital and ephemeral, these photos pause, acting as a reminder of touch and connection to ourselves as well as the world we engage with.
Scroll
Conceptually founded in rerouting the need for incessant distraction, Scroll began as a project to identify when digital media consumption can become toxic and offered an alternative. Scroll
was made over the course of eight months every time the artist found themselves being drawn to the aimless chasm of lethargic internet browsing and instead insisted that the artist tune into themselves. Accompanied by a log of the time, date, location, and general feelings present in the artist, Scroll depicts how spacial and emotional shifts can effect the function and form of seemingly “absent minded” scrolling.
Meant to address the shifting ideas of comfort and reprieve, this piece asks “What is rest? How do we rest as artists? What are we bringing to others as a space of rest and reprieve, and what
does that take from us as artists?”
