Year: 2021

Materials: Mop, acrylic, industrial felt, mop handle

Dimensions: 83 x 60 x 7 inches

Image Statement: Industrial felt was chosen as the foundation for this work because of its utility and strength, forming a protective cape. Constructed organically over months, the grid kept me tethered to my practice, line after line. A deconstructed mop, first attached and later trimmed, creates a soft spot to land, an invitation of sorts.
