The Double

The Double, Knotted fibers on twin mattress, 2024

Site specific installation for Canopy Studio Gallery, NYC

"The Double" continues my exploration of those everyday places where we find shelter and reprieve. The weighted safety blanket of felt and fibers presents a metaphor for our hunger for stability and certainty. The piece is equal parts anxiety and equanimity, joy and sorrow, intimacy and detachment, even life and death. The knots are the mending and repairing process that characterizes human life. They are a visual testament to healing during hard times.

In The Thick of It

"What Remains" and "In The Thick of It" is a collaborative work exploring the complexities of time and healing. The sculptures, with its timeline-like structure made of knotted felt and held together by handcrafted clay pins, invites viewers to reflect on emotional and temporal journeys. Both works use a gradient to symbolize the passage of time and the layers of healing. The pins, small yet symbolic, represent mending, connection, and the dual nature of our experiences—honoring both the intensity of the present moment and what fades over time.

California King

'California King' centers on a bed -- a familiar yet intimate resting place critical to resetting and repairing from the days' knawing uncertainty. The mattress is covered by a heavy safety blanket of knotted felt and fibers, a metaphor for the deep human need to find security. The knots also symbolize the mending and reparing process that characterizes human life in all of its phases, but was particularly pronounced during the lockdowns. They are a visual record of healing during dark times.
