Fade was installed during the Duluth Art Institute’s “Strata” exhibit in the spring and summer of 2019, alongside works by Natalie Salminen Rude, Russell Prather and Juliane Shibata

The piece is an assemblage of encaustic boxes, a sewn figure and cut outs of wasps both on Duralar and Pictorico inkjet film. Hat pins hold the boxes at different distances to the wall.

Fade was created as part of my Artist Initiative grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature; and by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The primary goal for the grant was to make my work more three dimensional and this piece shows some of the early experiments with doing so.
