SEWN SILENCES
Foundry Gallery, Washington, D.C.
June 6th, 2025 - June 29th, 2025

Cloths are storytellers, record keepers, shields, and masks with a language of their own. The act of preparing a cloth–presented in this exhibition through the actions of painting, dyeing, stitching, and adorning–is a meditation on memory, imperfection, and decay. Natural color fades with time, threads may fray, but careful action remains embedded in the cloth. The circle, one of humanity’s oldest symbols, reappears throughout the works–as heads, eggs, celestial bodies, and eyes. These works ponder the nature of impermanence, change, and repetition. 


 

UNBUTTONED

Gallery T293, Rome, Italy
September 21, 2023 - October 27, 2023

Unbuttoned imagines another realm that values fluidity and metamorphosis. Each piece is created from checkered and plaid work shirts, symbols of a restrained, hard masculinity and a “buttoned-up” posture, and via improvisation with their shapes, colors, and textures. Together, they tell a story about evolution, imagination, and intuition.
