about the work:

Limited edition photographs documenting my mini portal prototype sculptures in various landscapes. Placing these works in conversation with Earth’s landscapes feels like a coming home, coalescence of natural and feminine elements, and a reminder to slow down and archive essence.

Portal sculpture featured in this photograph:

Matter [substance from which something is made], 13 x 9 ½ x 6 in., 2021, Stone marble slab (cut & polished), Copper pipe (cut, assembled, soldered & polished), Ivory white polyester fabric (draped & sewn in place)

Limited editions available for purchase at the sizes specified (sizes vary per photograph). Artist reserves the right to create/save up to 5 Artist Proofs of each photograph.

shipping:

Photographs print on demand. Silk is a precarious material to work with. Please allow 4-8 weeks for artwork to be printed, inspected, signed, and shipped. Standard shipping for US orders. Items transport in a tube to prevent bending. Contact directly to inquire about international shipping options prior to purchasing.

artwork care + conservation:

Silk is a very delicate fabric. Do not pull loose threads, as the piece will unravel. My conservation recommendation is to frame the artwork in museum glass, or at least glass that provides UV protection - especially if artwork is displayed somewhere where it is exposed to sun rays for long periods of time. The idea humidity to store artwork is 40-50% with a temperature between 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit (21-24 degrees Celsius). Severe climates can cause paper warping, yellowing of paper, and mold growth. If artwork is kept unframed in storage it should be rolled, never folded. Do not attempt to iron.
