The Path Between the Lines, is my new artist book, created from drawings and research collected during my residency. It is on view alongside new hand-built ceramic sculptures and vessels made during my time in New Harmony.
Also featured in the show is a new iteration of my ongoing installation, Sentences I Keep Near. In every new arrangement, a collection of works on paper, ephemera, and assorted artifacts form a shifting archive, assembling a bibliography of shapes.
In this latest installment, I have included magnolia seed pods that I collected from below the tree outside the New Harmony Clay Project studio window as well as fragments of text found on the trail, where I would run by the Wabash River.
