Join us for the opening reception on Saturday March 11th from 2 – 6 PM!

Emerging from a season of isolation and grief, I coped with displacement by creating this body of abstract watercolors. So much of the world and my immediate life seemed beyond my control and I discovered the comfort in meditatively tracing objects I found within my domestic bubble. Choosing items that lie on a spectrum of functional and sentimental value, their identity is deconstructed to a simple stencil. I collected paper clips, heirloom rings, a phone charger, a lampshade, my grandfather’s playing cards, shapes from online tweets as subjects. In creating this body of work, I found a restored sense of belonging and connection.
