Shadows of Duality

A body of assemblage sculpture in which discarded clothing, weathered shoes, animal hide, horn and salvaged cloth are reassembled into charged, bodily forms, each object a wordless witness to lives once lived.

Orchard within the Hide

Staged as a single environment, Shadows of Duality lets strength and fragility, nurture and power, joy and sorrow breathe together without resolution.

Each work is built from objects once intimately connected to bodies and lives: belts, boots, purses, fur, dyed animal horns and flowers, hand-stitched into rib cages and hides. The material remembers; the forms carry the imprint of endurance, resistance and renewal.
