2023
I spent three weeks living in a tent on the land where this work now lives. My patterns, perspective, and process, all shifted. I was reminded that change is both something new and a coming home.
I created three installations on the trails. Each reflect qualities and patterns that were necessary for me to study in this time of transformation. I was wrestling with my constricting unconscious beliefs of architecture, nature, gender, race, and ornament within me and around me. I observed how these beliefs inhibit creativity to move through me and utilized art making to unravel the rigid mind.
The mirrors are a method for playing with light as material - a way to make the invisible visible. The mirrors both reflect and project, evoke and invoke, dazzle and dissolve. In their ability to be both, they also become neither, and something uncategorizable emerges simultaneously in the art and the artist.
