A lifetime in the making, a decade since sketching an idea, over the past year I finally acquired materials I could repurpose into objects to suit my concept for this ephemeral installation.

The installation came to fruition while I was a resident at Ucross in October of 2025, and the Wyoming wind was a wonderful collaborator who tossed the objects into positions that were unexpected, but what the work needed when I took the photos.

Because of the personal (and to a certain degree, universal) nature of this work, I wasn’t sure I could ever get out of my head and complete it. During an open studio session after our first two weeks at Ucross, I decided to be vulnerable with my cohort and talk about it when the other artists, writers, and dancers visited my studio. Their support and encouragement was so very valuable, and I will forever be grateful to them.
