Near and Far (2015), is a collection of ink paintings, a large sculpture, and two videos. In this gallery-sized installation at The Minneapolis Institute of Art, images of my family’s dining room table, Chinese workers’ stools, mass-produced chairs, and their shadows become structures from which ineffable qualities emerge. What unseen residues are woven into my everyday surroundings? Daily household objects invisibly carry the extractive conditions of their production and the larger effects of everyday consumer decisions. Embedded in this exchange are challenging implications that link my personal life to larger global and industrial relationships. The fluidity of ink lends itself to a kind of restlessness and instability that feels accurate to me – with it, I render solid structures as well as the dissolution of form suggesting the concrete and the ephemeral simultaneously.
