Exhibiting May 4 – 23, 2024

First Saturday Opening Reception is May 4 from 4-7PM

Baggage, Boats, and Sight Lines are three series informed by process and intuition, led by the connection of raw materials, simplicity, and time. The baggage we carry, as vessels, becomes our past and our history, informing our present and future. Building off of that rawness, the boats become vessels of my present; sitting, carrying, holding, or transporting, but these boats do not float and cannot sail.

The materials outline their capacity to voyage and inform their fate. The combination of the contradictions in this open the spectrum of dichotomy of materials; each lending way to soft, hard, heavy, light. As the baggage holds my past, the boats hold my present, and the sight lines of the simplistic, stripped down, almost architectural building blocks, give view to the unknown future.

All connected by raw materials and often stitched together by a thread, they connect my past, present, and future and invite the viewer to see what these raw, simplistic forms give way for their vision.
