Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
At my studio, I habitually shuffle stacks of 4" x 6" c-prints like tarot cards to decipher the nature of impermanence. Everyday images, printed from color negatives of my adolescence and digital files of my adulthood, hold both distant and immediate memories of people and places. Some photographs are set aside to be embalmed in clay while others are excised to produce high-contrast ink rubbings on clinical drape sheets. Installations, arranged on shelves or drying racks, lend context to these discrete objects, suggesting in-between states. More recently, a series of bisque fired, porous receptacles structurally support earlier sculptures of unfired clay across various states of change. They were designed to foreground temporal qualities inherent in life: breakage, disintegration, and decay. These image-modifying processes, moving between 2D and 3D, result from a desire to handle malleable memories in the round. It is a practice about holding on and letting go.
