Pen and paint

I observe large expanses and bring them to a microfocus- through narrowing on one section of a grocery store aisle, one area of a neighborhood, one small swath of fabric, one moment of a pose. Similar to much of my work, Unfolding utilizes hand cut stencils on a gelli plate inked with vibrant paints. Layers of these are pulled and then drawn on top with paint pens. Each layer is a revisiting of histories, of familiarity, and of displacement.
