The pigments for the scroll series are made from crushed eggshells and the burnt ashes of ten years of the artist’s personal journals. From sketchbook to 10-foot-tall installations, the artist explores interiority through a meditative process. She scribes a text repeatedly upon itself, layer upon layer until it is illegible. Despite obfuscation, the text literally creates form. The artist is most interested in the intuitive process and narrative which ensues.
