Petroglyphs, architecture, graffiti, scrolls, codices – examples of our collective human urge to leave an imprint, tell a story, mark our time. These relics are a historical record with a tenacious existence. Think the caves of Lascaux, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the tagged surfaces of train cars. My work speaks to this human urge for mark leaving, referring to an enduring historical record while simultaneously becoming a part of it. Drawing on ideas of the intersection between written language and spirituality, this piece is constructed, deconstructed and reassembled into an intimate and ephemeral account of our shared history, our difficult present and our uncertain future.
