Printed ice, video installation

“As a printmaker, I explore the ephemeron, or shifting material states of each piece as it grows in time, decays, and leaves a trace of memory. My prints can take the shape of a psychic imprint with deeper, more sentient engagement in the inner life of the viewer.

I print repeated family portraits using ephemeral materials like ice, sand, MSG, milk, and ash that quickly wash away. Nothing lasts forever. And paradoxically, sometimes, all you can do is wait for something to change. These sentient impressions of my work may be more important than the survival of the work itself.”
