Traces: Between Presence and Absence

​​​​

Traces emerge with loss: the imprint of something that is no longer there. Through shaping, unshaping, and reassembling, I aim to explore memory and transformation

.

I cast impressions of the human body in fabric, allowing them to harden before ripping them away. What remains is distorted and fragmented, then reassembled into new figurative bodies.

By way of making, I ask when a trace begins: in the moment of the rupture of separation, in its distortion, or later, when fragments are reshaped into a resemblance of what has been lost?
