WE ARE BOUNDLESS, a large-scale work that dissolves boundaries between body and world. Our forms merge, submerge, emerge, our boundaries are there, though they are not always fixed by the eye. 

Embedded In The Flesh Of The World series explores memory embodied; reactivating gestures, marks, punctuations, recalling encounters with/in the world. I remembered walking with the wind howling around me, debris/leaves swirling; I remembered running across different terrain, sometimes falling, slipping, being sucked into the mud; I remembered hiding in the grass, swimming in bodies of water; I remembered touching, feeling, sensing, almost belonging. The physicality of my making as sensuous as the materials I use, I am embedded in these forms.  #sensuouspractice
