These are two sculptures constructed on-site for my exhibition, Fault Trace, in the Beacon Room Project Space at BAU Gallery, Beacon, NY, 2018. Fault Trace is the central floor piece in the exhibition by the same name.
Fault Trace, salvaged roofing slate, the artist’s hair, approx. 79 x 52 x 4”, 2018

My exhibition in the Beacon Room associated the language, formal characteristics, and materiality of geology with traces of architecture and my body. In geological terms, a “fault trace” is the place where a fault, or fracture, in the rock strata can be seen or mapped on the earth’s surface. The work on exhibit explores the fault as a space of relational possibility between self and other, where radically different temporalities intersect, structure cleaves, and material identities may be reconfigured.
