When It Gets Dark, I Have Shallow Breath - Ongoing

When It Gets Dark, I Have Shallow Breath
Installation Artwork, Ongoing

 This piece is very special to me (and is quite possibly my favourite piece). It exists as a digital image (as well as an animated version!), has been printed on fabric and installed as an installation artwork, as well as, also installed as public art projects. I created this piece after my grandmother passed away in a tragic accident. I spend a lot of time thinking about her, what happened, and where it happened. How do we connect to, honor and cherish our memories? How is that related to space, place and time? 

I love coming back to this piece, adding new elements, installing it in different ways. It's very comforting, like spending time with an old friend. <3
