With a Creative and Performing Arts Award, I installed four sculptures, four paintings, and two textiles in the Franklin-Murray Gallery. The sculptures were fabricated by laminating and bending oak—sometimes around mannequins to capture the shape of a human form—before being ebonized with vinegar soaked in steel wool.

After the wood was bent, it was strung up, or justified, with silk.
