“Departures,” 49” x 19” clear glass panel. The glass was a shelf salvaged from trash.

Figures born on currents of air and water have been a motif in my work since 2013. These spirits insist on making a regular appearance.

I depict their movement in an ambiguous way so that the viewer has to answer questions and engage with their intention. Are they flying, or falling? Can they be both? What does our imposed interpretation say about us and our own lives?
