Feeding Fireflies Fertile Ruins
came about as a meditation on cycles of life and death, and trauma, resilience and fecundity.  These fossilized glass fragments hover between states of matter, moving in a scale of deep time.  Suspended in them are a polyphony of animacies. The alivenesses of wax, clay, silicone, plaster, gravity, time, flesh, and heat all acted out their differing and various natures pressed up against - melting with -  one another, slipping bodies into new shapes rendered in glass. Their surfaces shimmer with new narratives of possibility within the black and blues.
