What remains… memento mori

Solo exhibition at Alice Folker 2017

What remains... memento mori begins with an exploration of what is left behind. What happens when we die? What do we leave? Not only the physical remnants—bones, teeth, a shoe, a newspaper—but also a presence, or perhaps more precisely, an absence.

This body of work is driven by a sensitivity to subtle emotions and fine-tuned perceptions. That fleeting feeling that someone—or something—was just here. Maybe they'll return in three minutes, ten years, or never. The work draws attention to the pause, the vacuum that arises in that sensation. A moment suspended in time, like the disruption of a perfectly still surface of water.

The works are tactile and rooted in an investigation of sensitivity and tension—formed through the combination of materials, surfaces, and ruptures. It is a dive into darkness.

They hold a quiet contemplation of the finite—and the infinite that emerges from it.
