Untitled (Abdomen)
-> Copper wire, Solder, RopeI developed this technique of using a soldering iron through my fellowship at the Center for Collaborative Arts and Media in 2023/24. I layered a macrame tapestry behind the metal cage to create the semblance of an enclosed space that is pierced and permeated by the life that occurs around it. 

Solder is a metal typically used in electrical boards. The space between the cage and the tapestry represents the abdomen, a space where feeling is felt and held within the body. Instead of conducting electricity, the sculpture conducts the energy of who is around it, working the same way an abdomen does.
