Installations / Navigating the Gaze
The work began with a loop-like form constructed from bamboo and twine, created without a sketch or plan. Through bending, twisting, and joining, the bamboo itself became a collaborator through the process. The cast shadows on the floor and walls were mapped with aluminum foil strips, taped in place. Placing rolls of Kozo paper over the foil strips allowed me to trace the drawing with graphite – converting a three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional drawing through the time. The work was created during residency period at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass village, Colorado in 2024.
