brushstrokes

keep in touch

secret scenes









so to speak

the solitude of attempting communication
in a language that is not one’s own

a slow and delicate process
painting a silver-based, light-sensitive
liquid emulsion onto fabrics

with cyanotypes, the prints are
sewn into soldered metal sculptures,
swinging and spinning in motion
suspended from the ceiling

painterly and ghost-like imprints of the female form,
echoing the estranged experience of producing
imperfect speech
and the inability
to make one’s self known
