Most religions say that you must transcend the body.
I would say otherwise.
The body is not a vessel.
It is the locus of experience, connection, isolation, sensuality
mortality, violence, and transcendence.
It is in a constant state of resonance between the visceral and the ephemeral.
I want to make that resonance visible.

Made with the human body, iron oxide and cloth, Imprints is a series of installations in which the materials serve as a kind of reliquary for the energy contained within living beings.  Layers of suspended, translucent scrim fill a room, impressed with human forms in varying states of expression, movement, and fragmentation.  A tension occurs between the physicality of the body and the near-invisibility of the cloth.  As the viewer moves through and around the installations, the layers and light gently shift and change. Figures combine and dissolve, recalling ghosts, shadows, x-rays, shrouds, and ancient archetypes.
