We asked people to take off their clothes and let us print on them. A big part of our collective work focuses on the "work" being the art and the object becoming the remnant and this was a fun way to model that concept to our audience.

Latest Installation @ Working Method Contemporary
"Everything in its special place..."
This recent installation is exploring the conflict that lies within the process of preserving memories. A video monitor is housed inside of a structure containing a window, a small section of the window is exposed to let the viewer peer in and view the monitor. The video is an hour long and documents me in a white room folding the clothes on the floor and dipping them into a bath of plaster. I place all of the items in the drawers of a dresser, suggesting the process of storing events in my memory. The white plaster not only coats the objects to fix them in time but also washes away many of the items details, creating a new version that is partially the truth and seemingly not as easy to access. This conflict between storing and accessing memories is one I contemplate because I feel that our memories of events and experiences shape our identities, and holding on to them and preserving them is an important part of figuring out who we are. However, conflict arrises when you attempt to solidify an ephemeral moment. This piece is about me asking the viewer to consider this paradox. Within the space I wanted to place the viewer somewhere between the past and the present of this event that I had created, to allow for a moment of shared contemplation on the desire people have to hold on to the past, and the realization that it can never effectively be done.
