MessageCollection: Suspensions
Suspensions is an ongoing body of dimensional, wall-mounted artworks that explores the expansiveness of present moments through a softened gaze and subtle shift of focus. Composed of hand-painted, laser-cut plexiglass and wood suspended above painted or prepared grounds on stainless steel pins, each piece creates layered relationships between figure and field, light and shadow, solidity and motion.
The initial works within this broader structure reconstruct blurred or peripheral glimpses as fully articulated, dimensional experiences of light, presence, and color—holding space for the luminous not-yet.
