Moments never last; they are fragmentary, transient, always in a constant state of flux. There is a beauty in these instances, like paper they blow into our awareness and suddenly melt from our conscious mind. Times of true resonance linger or surface on a whim triggered by a sensory experience. The first time we are kissed, we can recall the physical reactions and recollections of our past surroundings. Can we ever truly escape these moments, or do we even want to?
My current work has evolved from ephemeral situations. The fabric sculptures, installations, and performance attempt to visually clarify emotions that are not verbally easily explained.
