STRING-NAIL

In 2015, I began to use nails, string, and pages from deconstructed vintage photo albums and scrapbooks to reference the worlds of architecture and construction and bridge two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. Mapping out ‘ghost’ building sites with string, I investigate visibility and invisibility, presence and absence; the string’s weightlessness creates perceptual volume while suggesting the fragility of construction. The nail operates as a grounding, and both a starting and end point.
