Bundle, 2024
Dandelions, bound and unbound. 20x4x4’’

Bundle is composed of dandelions collected and dried with my son during a residency. Bound tightly together, the bundle held its form even after the cords securing it were undone. Over the course of the exhibition, it gradually unfurls—stems loosening, separating, and occasionally falling away.. Bundle carries a strong, earthy scent of dandelions.

“The stems of Bundle—a collection of dried dandelions gathered with her child—hold the indentation of their binding. These unbound stems gesture towards release, but they remain held together out of convention. Tamer describes this as a pause: “the period after events that shift everything and both destruction but also unbinding happens, and before people actually start questioning old attachments, old ways of relating.”” Katie Belcher, Drawn Down, Drawn Closer
