In being, I am hypha-gallery-sugar-house-island The context of the plants

The context of the plants used to dye each piece marks them as being in ritualistic communion with the nonhuman elements that now find themselves within these walls

The work explores the interior world of others

I am compelled to compose visual music from the cacophony of thoughts that dwell within

and trees tell a story of steady resilience

In this new moment of my journey

In being, I am hypha-gallery-sugar-house-island The context of the plantsIn the quiet corners of memory and the everyday the figures exist in a state of flux between themselves and their dreamlike environment. The painting exists within multiple layers of time fractured, tender, and unstable. Like recalling a blurred memory, resisting clarity. Teetering on the edge of dissolve, In Being, I Am holds a psychological resonance, touching on quiet intimacy and the poetic space between illusion and reality.
