Noteworthy is a new body of work exploring how light and shadow can be a means to further understand experiences of grief and the ephemerality of life. Artworks noting quick glimmers, micro moments of joy, observed in paused moments of everyday life. Grounded in an investigation of a personal collection of images that pay attention to the shadows created when sunlight passes through foliage. Moments of temporary darkness created only because of light.

This collection of works on paper and fabric address both light and shadow simultaneously through a variety of media and techniques. Shadow often represented through India ink and graphite. Light existing within the negative spaces of each composition and piercing through the darkness as free motion embroidered metallic thread.
