In October 2022, I will have the first European exhibition of my work. The project entitled A Moon For A Sun, features the most expansive of my Damaged Emergency Blankets. Primarily distressed paper and papery material, these pieces are simultaneously abstract two-dimensional fields and pliable sculptural stock that can be shaped into a variety of forms with varying levels of relief. Each piece becomes an ode to an iconoclast or event such as Thelma Butterfly McQueen, Octavia Butler or the Black and Blue Atlantic, etc. The original conceit for these pieces grew out of a fascination with the seemingly inert squares of Mylar used to deliver emergency sources of heat to runners, outdoor trekkers, victims of circumstance, etc
