"A Part Apart" at The Dairy Arts Center

One of the most surprising moments of this year was when curator, Drew Austin of the Dairy Arts Center in Boulder, approached me for a studio visit. He was curating a 4-person show called “Presentiment” in which 4 artists who focus on creating spirituality through art. Needless to say, deeply pertinent to me. Drew’s statement is absolutely stunning so I won’t do it the dishonor of attempting to summarize it here. Instead, you can view the entire virtual exhibition by heading to the Dairy’s website.

For my installation, I built my first large scale sculptural piece and hung many of my small, wall-hanging works. The resulting show felt really honest to my sense of logic in space and got me excited to continue on with installation work.

One of the best parts of this show was working with Drew. We connected very quickly and realized a lot of similar interests. Therefor, he was really encouraging and trusting in letting me experiment with how the work would be read. For the wall-hanging part of the installation, I created a map of consciousness that ties each work to one another. Each line connects the visual of the piece to the greater way I think about making artwork.
