Daily Bread (Size: 30"x40"), Caspian in the Blue Room (Size: 30"x30")

I produced two photographic portraits of Caspian, the young boy whose family was the recipient of prayers and affirmations from volunteers around the world. In the decommissioned chapel, seated in a small parlor near the large glove installation, I created a smaller installation. Referencing traditions of religious painting, I painted the room a deep blue, and gilded the wooden trim with gold leaf. Using hand-made rubber stamps, I applied to the walls a pattern, displaying images of the star of Bethlehem and a dove in flight. A lush floral altar occupies the floor, comprised of flora sourced from the chapel grounds and a variety of symbolic fresh flowers. A rescued chair is the seat of the altar, re-upholstered in gold chenille. Caspian holds a loaf of bread, symbolizing daily spiritual provisions which are essential to his family’s Christian faith.

Every Pair of Gloves

(Size: each photograph, 10"x10")

I photographically documented every pair of gloves that were included in the suspended installation. The variety of mark-making on the gloves is extraordinary; volunteers employed a multiplicity of expressions, including repetitive meditative patterns, symbols, stamped images, intricate drawings, and written text. Printed on transparent, fragile handmade Japanese Washi paper, these photographs will accompany the installation in the 2024 exhibition, arranged on the wall in a large grid. This image is a composite of 1080 photographs, detailing every glove submitted for the project.
