In the Meantime
2024 - Ongoing
In the Meantime explores the ephemerality of atmospheric moments and left-behind objects. A continual theme throughout my life has been the remembrance of mortality and the fleeting nature of time. This awareness has been reinforced by spiritual traditions and the ever-present southern decay in my surroundings. Each work captures a single moment in many parts, blending forms, colors, and details to highlight the temporal nature of average existence and the many small moments which go unnoticed.
Through layering, fragmentation, and selective erasure, the collages resist a singular, stable image. These interruptions mirror the way memory and time function, as partial, unstable, and continuously reformed.Teetering between artificial and natural, growth and decay, I bring out the beauty in the in-between. The work invites slow looking, prompting viewers to linger with what is peripheral and to recognize their own relationship to time, mortality, and impermanence.
