I’m in my blue period
Beautiful installation shots by @npjerome from RE:SOURCE this past September ♥️ thank you so much to Serena @serenabrunswig and Camila @camila.pernisco for including me in this exhibition, allowing me to make these two pieces reflecting on Eldert St. Garden and New York’s repurposed spaces and the city street’s detritus. Also shoutout to Zak @zakaryholliman without whom my 2x3s would’ve never made it from Home Depot! To show alongside close friends and peers was so heartwarming!

Install shot from “Stuck between a rock and a hard place” L-R: Untitled (Basement), Untitled (Doorknobs)
Thank you to everyone who came out to view my thesis exhibition! I will be posting more photos of my installation and painting details in the coming weeks so stay tuned. To everyone in the studios, peers and professors, friends and family, thank you so much for your support over this past year.
“Stuck between a rock and a hard place” is a year-long investigation into the idea of uncovering—what is inside a building, object, or wall? What are the hidden structures holding things together that one does not normally see, and takes for granted? How can these constructed and deconstructed forms (familiar to me from home renovation projects and my time as a set builder) become memorials to spaces lost to time, to relationships gone by, to memories compartmentalized and emotions bottled up? Rendered in oil paint, and installed in 2x4 constructions resembling rough framing, my work seeks to explore the symbiotic relationship between making and unmaking, creating a framing context which calls to mind the in-between.
