Six Relationships Bound By Water

Composed of seven mixed media works, this series utilizes nautical objects as a point of departure to explore the nature of relationships. The intricacies of love, control, access, desire and loss are explored through hybrid forms which seem familiar, functional and emblematic, yet are simultaneously confounding in their purpose. Encountering the tensions in these tableaus, viewers feel a sense of empathy toward inanimate objects, and ultimately must create meaning from unfamiliar landscapes.
