DescriptionA range of pink hues on soft, bubble-like letters drift down like clouds from the ceiling of The Rockwell Museum’s rotunda. This jumble of words transforms from the legible to the illegible as viewers move under and around, revealing and concealing meaning. Combining the artist's own poetry and research into disarming and whimsical forms that explore complicated topics such as identity, the body, and contemporary life creating an environment where visitors can unlearn tropes and embrace the complexities of the human experience. Utilizing materials and dyes that will fade over time, the artist celebrates the ephemeral beauty and small tragedies of life.
