This body of work began with a consideration of scale—of the dollhouse and the intimate dimensions of the galleries it holds. Approaching the exhibition through a sense of play, I returned to materials and processes that had long been set aside, or not yet explored. Charcoal pencils were pulled out, sharpened, and set to small surfaces, where each mark carried a heightened presence. Alongside this, I worked with polymer clay, drawn to its malleability and its range of vivid, luminous color. A dialogue emerged between two- and three-dimensional forms, guided by shapes and patterns gathered through observation. Time spent walking in parks and nature preserves, tending a garden, and moving through the subtle shifts of cultivated and wild spaces informed the work. These experiences offered a close view of changing microclimates, where attention to small variations became a way of seeing, and a starting point for the forms that developed in the studio.
