Immaterial is a series of 30 assemblages made from carefully chosen but objectively worthless found objects.

These pieces explore how the simple act of paying attention can bestow importance, the pleasure and anxiety of material excess, and embodied vs referenced meaning (what an object is, and how that may differ from what an object resembles, signifies, or calls to mind in an ambiguous context). At least, that’s how I decided to frame these experiments for my MFA. Looking back, I can see that series was “about” a budding interest in exploring pattern and color outside of the digital space, outside of any real practical application. In an art context, and not a design context, and with a new-to-me kind of raw material.
