Slate Variations I - X is a new body of work (in process/progress right now) that seeks a deeper investigation into the material of slate with ten distinct pieces as photographs, videos, and sculptural pieces. Since 2014 I have been working with slate, and find it to be extremely engaging and beautiful in its fragility and strength. In Slate Variations I, I am writing my name in water only to watch it quickly disappear. This functions as a mirror of how I understand my own name and thus my identity: as a flux space that represents a space of instability, questioning, and transformation.
