008

I make landscapes of loss. My grief transforms me, and I transform the landscapes I live in. I make work to satisfy the lump in my throat and the constriction in my chest.

For my ongoing project, “We walk in circles,” I am walking a circular path into the grass of a public park through repeated, solitary walking. It is a slow, sustained performance that acts as a portrait of grief and survival. Rather than searching for a resolution, this work embraces meaning and the meaningless. As a path forms, I will invite members of my community to join me in my walking and to become fellow authors of this path.

I work in mixed media, using sculpture, projection, found objects, and photography, to make tangible representations of loss and moving on. To try to make sense of the insensible. To reconcile with the world.
