360,000 umbilical cords were cut today.
A deer has been struck by a car and met its demise.

What emerges from our hands never leaves the body. Everything we create repeatedly translates its vulnerability.

Our work addresses bodies in the aftermath of events: bodies that exist after irreversible change, after conditions have already been ‘decided’.

This exhibition lingers with the irreversible.
It attends to bodies that are passed over and brushed aside, to lives that were never fully acknowledged as worthy of care; it remains as a state of being.

How we differentiate between bodies, deciding which deserve attention and which do not, ultimately mirrors how we evaluate and treat ourselves.

An abandoned helmet grew skin and gestated life.
Glass and ceramic salvaged bodies from decay.
Lanternflies crushed to death rebirthed into steel.
