Darkness takes another sip. Leaky and pale the earth tries to smile back. pause. glair, powdered pigment, human breath, on archival paper, framed with natural wood Breath and breathing were in the foreground of my imagination during the pandemic in 2020, prompting me to make a series of works using my breath. Glair, made from egg whites, acted as an adhesive for the powdered pigment I blew across the page and a painting material on vellum. I excerpted the texts from longer writings on birth, death, relationships, and impermanence I’d written previously.

My work inspired by mourning research is a visceral response to emotions, body sensations, and experiences in nature. I work across media, installation, sculpture, video, performance, and sound to contextualize imaginings of unknown spaces before life and after death, that bookend the transitions into and out of consciousness. In a meditative process that allows the world's noise to dissipate, I look for answers to what I don't know, focusing on the work's essential qualities in the moment. The isolated and spare visual results create an intimate and immediate connection to the work and serve as a reminder that this moment is all there is.
