Entanglements are memories and meditations. Webs, handwoven with beads, act as meditations and function as remnants of a previous action and repetition. Other works in this series record objects and images from the corners of the mind. Nostalgic references to mundane elements—cartoons, objects from a grandparent’s home, and popular cultural icons—that cannot be forgotten. These works act as aesthetic representations of lasting connections between place and memory, calling attention to quiet corners like spider webs do to the periphery of spaces, lasting only because they are out of the way, protected. We are all curiously intertwined—like Einstein’s theory of quantum entanglements—even seemingly unrelated atoms can be linked by ghostly action, affecting change in one another even from nearly infinite distance.
