sometimes, seven minutes
7 minutes in heaven, 96 variations of lipstick prints, video for Vignettes Love Party, 2014
An immediate and literal imprint of the tender physical body, these lipstick prints are a love note in multiples. A recurring theme, seen here as 7 minutes in heaven, an infinite looping video, and later as the installation I Want To Lose Them. Small individual prints made large by their number, this installation covering an entire wall for the exhibition Go On Take Everything at Vignettes Gallery. These multitudes, a series made for the taking, constitute offerings of abundance.
An early self portrait taken in Portland in 1997 exists as the remnants from what was cut out and repurposed for a flier. In the process of cleaning out years of photographs and preparing for a move in 2019, the cut away and a complete came together for the first time to create the whole. Spanning twenty two years, sometimes it takes awhile to put the pieces together.

traces/you know the way
The body as love story. These works explore the body magnified and mapped; the traces we literally and figuratively imprint. Looking toward the space we inhabit as both autobiographical and topographical, continuing the investigation of the self and intimate space.
