Installations / Similarities Attract #1, #2, #3
Monotype on Tyvek, hand-cut and hand-sewn
Approx. 9' × 6', 2015–2016
Best of Show, Second Annual Pressing Matters (2016, juried by Bud Shark, Shark’s Ink) awarded to "Similarities Attract #1"
Similarities Attract is an installation composed of nine hand-pulled monotype prints on Tyvek. After each print dried, thousands of small, grain-like forms were cut into the non-inked areas, creating negative patterns that weave through and connect the composition. Each print was then hand-sewn to form a unified panel.
The work reflects an ongoing exploration of material, process, and the experience of moving between places and building community. Each print is unique, yet together they form a cohesive whole—stronger and more dynamic than any individual part.
