    something borrowed

    The lightness of the gaze
    The weight of objects

    My interest in capturing ancient art objects through a practice of image–memory, image–making, and image–viewing connects to my identity as a museum worker looking at objects up close, looking after objects, being in their presence, and in the presence of their makers.

    My objects hold both the lightness of the gaze and the memory of the object in translucent weight. Translucency, like a watery pool, promotes ambiguity, a sense of mystery and complexity that allows multiple understandings of what an object, a space, or an idea can be.

    The image of the object becomes an object again.
