Artists Statement: This typology investigates the ubiquitous ground markers directing people standing in line to keep 6 feet apart to prevent the spread of Covid-19. These markers are often just a single piece of tape adhered to concrete and distressed from months of being stepped on. Read More.

Curator’s Statement: For three years now COVID has directly affected our lives. Initially, it forced us to stay indoors and to treat our normal world with fear and dread. Now that the disease is more normalized, and we feel more confident to resume social activity, how do we conceive of the world outside? How has this recent history, our new fear of this disease, affected our lives and our perceptions? These are some responses.

A quick overview of the process behind my “Burn A quick overview of the process behind my “Burn Line” series. 

I’m starting with a photograph and editing it — simplifying it so it can work for the engraving process. The engraving happens on a CNC router. Once I have an engraved piece of wood, I cook it in a fire using the pyrolysis process that converts the wood into charcoal.

This conversion is a metaphor for how fire can change a person‘s life or the life of a community.

BURN LINE
There is a moment—after the smoke has cleared but before memory sets in—when everything feels suspended. In BURN LINE, I trace that moment. Photographs of homes and objects, once ordinary and loved, are engraved into wood by machine, then sacrificed to fire. What remains is charcoal: fragile, blackened memory preserved in its most volatile form.
