The impermanence in my work relates to the impermanence of life. I
am interested in the observation of my work as it lives, dies, and is
reborn again into different environments. As my body of work
expands, the concept of my work broadens, bringing new meaning to
old work and forming new conversations.
I relate my work to the process of conception, birth, growing old, and dying. Making impermanent work allows me to create the work and observe it
throughout its many stages of growth and death. By allowing my work
to die I give it a lifetime, instead of a timeless life.
Through the making and drawing of my work I. bringing awareness
to the structured within the work. Through making and drawing I
explore how the patterns are formed, and their effects when layered
over time. I use familiarity and arrangement to brings attention to the
anomalies that exist in the objects and environments that are present
within my work itself. I first examined the lifespan of one marker and then began overlaying the paths of two markers over each other. This work creates a narrative for itself. I am focusing on the relationship between the markers and the paths they generated within the confines of my process and my choice of materials.
