  • Ghosting, 2023-24
    Commercially printed cotton/elastane cloth, dimensions variable. With graphic design support from Christian Ertel. Centered around ideas of loss, memory and haunting, Ghosting is a series of printed cloths that are both exhibited on their own, and shown covering figures in the videos. The cloth in the exhibition space is real and tactile; in the videos, it shrouds whoever is beneath it. Dreams and memories, both of the living and the dead, are the subject of the designs, but Ghosting also speaks to the ephemeral nature of photo and video recordings.

Day Shapes
  • Day Shapes, 2022
    Commercially printed cotton/elastane cloth, dimensions variable. "Day Shapes" are simple geometric objects made from fabric-covered frames, that are attached to the masthead of a ship. They show the status of a vessel during daylight hours and correspond to the navigation lights required to be shown by night. The Day Shapes series are nighttime signals made visible in cloth, inviting the viewer into different realms of consciousness. They invoke dreaming, floating, night-time perception, the dissolution of certainties associated with logical daytime reasoning.
