her penumbra, 2018

Installation of photographic mural, vinyl, plate glass, a rotation of six of Mary Nohl's mobiles from JMKAC collection, rotation of three inkjet prints and three instant photographs. 

Skeptical of the monolith of history, where science and technology are positioned towards progress, I draw meaning from where knowledge is not fixed but dynamic, inclusive and generative.  My practice positions a feminist intervention on modernism – the body, its wisdom and the individual inquiry are celebrated. Using the language of light (in image, object and architecture) I construct spaces, choreographing experiences that make room for wonder as a direct line for new knowledge.  Wonder is radical. 

The installation Her penumbra at John Michael Kohler Art Center in Sheboygan WI is a response to artists Mary Nohl, Suzanne Harris and Maria Nordman. Her penumbra, chasing all of these artists, dancing among their shadows/ their invitations/ their power  - I’m orbiting them like planets - where does one eclipse another? Our collective timelines disorienting but wondrous.
