Some Things from my Grandma’s Basement

 
Stove Works | Chattanooga, TN | April 2023



My grandma’s basement has provided materials and an underlying structure to make the works in this show. They have an inherent cohesion created by the objects proximity in space and that may very well be all they have. Though the works all have sprouted in my grandma’s basement, they’ve been allowed to grow uninhibited into their current forms. Making these works was a process of being vulnerable with and listening carefully to objects and images. As well as confronting and challenging my identity and the identity of the things in front of me [who am I? No better question, who is this lamp?]. While always making a lot of bad jokes and sometimes stumbling onto a good one.
