2021
Curated by Felice Caivano, the pieces in this show focused on how artists dealt with the Covid pandemic in their studios and how this translated into their work.
The specific pieces in this show investigate the challenge of stabilizing my world in a time of turbulence and volatility. The sculptures are formed from wire mesh, which presents qualities of both strength and fragility. The smaller piece, Pivot, investigates contained chaos, while the larger piece, Echo, searches for rhythmic order. The three paintings on Japanese papers investigate the possibility of infinity, and function as visual mantras.
Throughout these past months, the connecting thread that weaves these pieces together is my response to the challenges of the world beyond my studio, as I search for balance and harmony within.
