Proud [sold]
A soft tone needle for a mechanical phonograph. A butterfly’s wing. A glass magic lantern slide from the presentation of a medical study in 1941. The jawbone of a sand dollar bearing a curious resemblance to a bird. Each object forms complex, interconnected units of meaning that can be combined, accentuated, lost, or juxtaposed. Whether they have endured for hundreds of years or would have been destroyed in an hour without intervention, using objects as a medium creates a unique way to engage with pieces confidently.

Just as objects have their purposes, so does my work–to facilitate communication and reflection in a way unique to every part of every piece. Through the use of items common to our eyes and hands, we find that the difference is in us, but that we’re not alone.
