Installations / Navigating the Gaze
The work began with the creation of an interwoven, freeform structure, meticulously hand-built from bamboo sticks and twine. Its form cast shifting shadows across the floor and walls, establishing a connection between the physical object and its surrounding space. These shadows were traced using strips of aluminum foil, which were secured in place, and rolls of Kozo paper were applied to capture textures and lines in graphite. Through this immersive, tactile process, the three-dimensional form and its ephemeral shadows were gradually translated into a two-dimensional composition. The physically engaged, improvisational approach enabled an exploration of the interplay between light, shadow, and perception, allowing the work to emerge through the interaction of materials and the surrounding environment.
The work was temporary created during residency period at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass village, Colorado in 2024.
