This new body of work examines transformation through repetition, fragility, and accumulation. Using shell-like forms in metal and graphite, I an exploring identity as something continually shed, rebuilt, and carried forward. The shell becomes both protection and evidence, a structure that preserves traces of what once existed while making space for growth and change.

This emerged from an inquiry into becoming: of identity is shaped through cycles of rupture, adaptation, tenderness, and survival. I am interested in the tension between vulnerability and resilience, and in the quiet transformations that occur over time rather than through singular dramatic moments. Through repeated forms, I create surfaces and structures that feel simultaneously delicate and enduring, suggesting the way experiences accumulate within the body and psyche.

The shell is a self-contained world, a place where the self gathers, it is always open, and spiraling outward. It is built layer by layer like memories, experience, and identity. I have been thinking a lot about how identity is formed. I have been thinking about how you are an accumulation of past versions of yourself, each one layered, revisied, and reactivated. Through repetition, fragmentation, and accumulation, I am exploring the way identity echos across time.

Graphite is soft, compressed, and leaves a residue.

Butterfly Valley is a body of work that considers penance, transformation, and healing through ritualized acts of making. The black butterfly signifies becoming after an ending: the dissolution of a relationship, the closing of a life chapter, the shedding of a former self. In this series of photographs, I am covered by 6,205 origami butterflies. The work marked time and loss through accumulation.

Butterfly Valley is on display in the Burroughs Wellcome Gallery at the Jenkins Fine Arts Center until March 20th.

The beginning of everything starts with an end. Night ends, and day begins. The cold winds of winter warm in the spring sun, and life renews itself. We fall in love and out of love, repair our hearts, and begin again. Impermanence is the essence of everything. People, places, objects; they all fall apart then come together again. How do we learn to embrace the impermanence in our lives? How do we mark the major transitions in our lives? How do we cocoon ourselves in the nothingness that is left when our life changes in order to heal, to let go and be reborn like the butterfly emerging from the chrysalis, transformed.

On September 1st, I began folding 51 origami butterflies a day. By the end of the year, I will have 6,205 butterflies. Hidden in their folds is the ghosts of a life I no longer live. An impermanent life that fell apart. My penance, my grief, is embedded in the repeative act of folding each butterfly over and over again. They evoke renewal beyond traumatic endings. An act of letting go and renewal.
