Wall Whispers
The Wall Whispers collection explores feelings that can arise when we consider allowing ourselves to change.
Each piece has a “public” side, customizable to display artwork, photographs, parts of letters, or other objects, and a “private” side of messages that can be kept secret if desired.
They can be displayed on a rotating tray so both sides can be easily viewed, or they can be placed in a corner where just the owner of the piece is aware of the messages on the back.
Each room is quite small and can be displayed in a bookcase, on a shelf, or on a table.
Legacy
Legacy simultaneously invokes an art gallery and a memorial space, exploring what it means to begin a practice that a loved one historically excelled in. The work is based on my own conflicting feelings about becoming an artist after my very talented sister, a painter and illustrator, passed away.
Legacy contains three picture frames that can be customized with the owner’s own miniature artwork or photographs, along with a pedestal ready to display a valued object.
The “private” messages on the back can be kept secret by displaying the piece tucked into the corner of a room or a bookshelf, or they can be shared by displaying the piece in its entirety on a rotating tray. The piece states:
I worry you think that I am trying to compete with your legacy.
I want to keep growing and let myself try to become good at this.

Art Show
Art Show considers the hesitancy one may feel about allowing ourselves to be seen as an artist.
The room is intended to be slightly off, as in a dream. It’s a busy space, tightly-crammed with art that at times is difficult to view in detail. The layout of the room is such that viewers are almost always examining pieces with other items also in sight: everything stands in comparison to everything else.
The "public" side of this piece includes two shadow box frames where small items can be hung, three frames for very small photos or print artwork, and two pillars for small objects.
The “private” messages on the back can be kept secret by displaying the piece tucked into the corner of a room or a bookshelf, or they can be shared by displaying the piece in its entirety on a rotating tray. The piece asks:
What if you let yourself be really ambitious with your art?
What if you took your work seriously, even as a beginner?
