Notions Of Love, 2025
Notions of Love, is part of an unraveling and building a new vocabulary through process. These fabrications are odes to their materiality. I am hoping to examine our relationship to self, place, heritage, power, newness, and our environment, through the familiar. To subvert and discover something anew. To love as an act, in the full sense of the verb.

The power of words. A floating Word Cape installed at a local public library . Capes are protective garments, and this oversized one is covered with words, encouraging us to feel good about the products we use and the environment. Yet, all this natural and organic joy is still plastic.

Soul Bath, 2021

The Soul Bath installation was sited in a giant commuter parking lot.It was a Covid testing site, and across the street from where the vaccines were given.
My intervention here is a drive thru tent. Change is around the corner so maybe we need a space to dream about it. |

Exploring possibilities of building a more inclusive, utopian future through art actions, this hammock sculpture is made of fragile mylar emergency blankets and old oars.
Where are we going? how strong are our beliefs? Is there enough gold for everyone? The absurdity is that it's only plastic. All is illusion. |

What is the form of home?
I am interested in our complex perceptions of everyday forms.Using saved scrap fabric, ornaments, found objects and bric-a-brac, I quilted an abstract, personal flag. I fly it between two trees like a sanctuary. |

“The Seat Of Power” is a sculpture made from compressed newspaper that I collected, unfolded, stacked, sandwiched between boards, measured traced, drilled, cut into shapes, then skewered, pressed and bolted together into an object in the shape of a chair and an ottoman. “The Seat of Power” is made of paper and will certainly disintegrate before long as it is after all a “fake chair”… what of all the compressed truths inside it? |

Can we believe what we see? How do we know what we actually see?
Unlike traditional kaleidoscopes and depending on its surroundings, this sculpture reflects the room and the viewer in it. Relative to its position, the patterns created are as unique as the person looking through it. |
