2022

Presented by Devening Projects, Score! brought together a series of sculptures, a video, and new editions exploring the relationship between material, ritual, and physical transformation. Working with cotton and nylon rope woven around steel structures, I construct sculptural forms that balance tension, gravity, and movement. Drawing from traditions of painting, craft, and spiritual abstraction, these works reference sacred spaces, athletic training, and repetitive acts of making. Together, they explore the relationship between physical labor and emotional experience, embracing moments of instability, discovery, and transformation as integral to the creative process.
