About
A tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life
This body of work queries the commonplace and the common object through dysfunction and error. The installation invites viewers to meditate on moments of failure, disruptions to foundation and situations where things just don’t go to plan.
A tender attempt to accomplish something possible began as a desire to explore a variety of material and as a response to The Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuzō.
