“End of Life” is a term used to describe a product that has been fully consumed or used up. Plastic mesh discarded from the flower industry has been transformed into organic shapes—heavy with symbolism but ethereal in their lightness—as a way to question our relationship with the natural and spiritual worlds, as well as the manufactured quality of these worlds. Blurring the lines between natural and synthetic, this piece is a meditation on dichotomy and the space between two opposing absolutes.
This is my new installation for Parlour Room Projects in Ypsilanti, MI. Check out their website here: www.parlourroomprojects.com

"I thought then that the aim of craft was to become proficient and to spend a lifetime creating beautiful things. It seemed like something was wrong with a plan whereby you took a lifetime to achieve mastery over difficult techniques then died just when you had become really good. I learned…that the purpose of the craft is not so much to make beautiful things as it is to become beautiful inside while you are making those things."
