I enjoy pairing forms, letting one shape orbit another. a smaller companion acts as a kind of moon, to see how the two hold each other in space.
Their dialogue is subtle - Just the suggestion of a pull
As the days went on and my notes compiled, I kept returning to a puzzling form.
Every test pushed back - the linens resisted this shape.
Determined to bring it to life, I tore my notes into scraps and saturated them over the structure, creating a paper mâché diary of my time in Nérac
I spent the past few weeks on a self directed residency in the south of France.
Working out of a quiet stone house in the village of Nérac, I stripped my practice back to whatever materials I could find locally.
The supermoon was waxing the night I arrived.
From here, everything else unfolded.
Held Breath is a series of sculpted linen works that embody the tension between motion and stillness.
The feeling of a breath held, not in panic, but in presence.
The work isn’t about narrative; it’s about noticing.
A pause you didn’t realize you needed.

Linen on linen on resin on linen
Part of the Held Breath series, these works capture sustained tension. Surfaces frozen mid collapse, where stillness feels alive. Layers of linen and resin hold a fleeting gesture in permanent form.
