Intertwined, Entangled, Unraveled, 2023, $3000
“Intertwined, Entangled, Unraveled" are sketches for a new series that explores the interconnectivity found in natural systems and the ways in which we are all linked together, even when those connections are not always visible on the surface.
I’ve also been using this body of work to help process a recent diagnosis of a rare eye disease, which causes holes in my retina. Recycled sisal, which I perforate and unravel, provides the foundation to investigate both the natural world and my condition and provides a reminder that even when parts of our perception deteriorate, on both microscopic and macroscopic scales we remain tied to the whole.
Suite comes in handmade engraved clamshell box with museum gloves and artist statement.
