Conglomerates (Public) No. 1, 2019.
Conglomerates (Public) are constructed in response to urban architecture. Composed of the various materials found in and around a building, they are created along its edges and shadow lines. This integration forges a dialogue between the two different sized structures and male and female. Unlike the institutional buildings they stand by, Conglomerates (Public) are fragile, temporary spatial works standing in a delicate state of balance. Works are documented before falling over in the wind.

Reshufflings (2020) and Shuffling(s) 2019.
Reshufflings and Shufflings are inspired by ideas read in Carlo Rovelli's The Order of Time about the quantum world. In this series, forms simultaneously divide and come together in an interplay between light and dark.
Reshufflings and Shufflings works on paper are created in response to concepts explored in theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli’s The Order of Time. Rovelli writes about time at the quantum level where the past, present, and future are blurred. Shuffling(s) are generated from multiple overlays of digital images of Conglomerates, small scale geometric constrcutions, taken within split seconds. These are drawn on top of each other on a single piece of paper. Intersecting lines and shapes are then painted in various shades of gray. The resulting combinations of lines, shapes, and tones interact in states of entropic accord. Forms fragment in between time. Unforeseen harmonies and alignments emerge from the process.
