Honored to have work included in “Presence and Absence: The Space Between,” curated by Indira Frietas Johnson at the Evanston Art Center. I’m exhibiting work from my Everglades Ossuary series, and I hope you can join me at the opening reception on Sunday, July 12 (1-4pm).

This exhibit explores the dual reality of death—the physical disappearance of those we love and the enduring emotional, spiritual, and cultural traces they leave behind. Through sculpture, painting, performance, and participatory installations, the exhibition brings together fragile and enduring materials to reflect on memory, loss, and the tension between impermanence and our human desire to hold on. Rather than viewing death as an ending, the exhibition considers it as a connective force between past, present, and future, inviting visitors to reflect on legacy, remembrance, and the ways we remain present even in our absence.
