Scrolls: Durational Visual Landscapes
These scroll works function as durational visual landscapes that unfold through score, movement, memory, and accumulation. Constructed in paper and textile, they emerge through extended processes of inscription, weaving, repetition, and revision. Rather than depicting landscapes, they behave like landscapes—revealing themselves gradually through sequence, duration, and travel.
Many of the scrolls also function as scores, developed in collaboration with the improvisational multi-instrumentalist Solomon Kimrey. Drawing and sound evolve together through systems of notation, improvisation, repetition, and response, allowing visual and sonic structures to continually inform one another.
The work emerges from a sustained fascination with accumulation, scale, and the ways complex systems reveal themselves through attention and time. Like maps, spectrograms, topographic surveys, or ecological systems, the scrolls invite movement between detail and overview, proximity and distance, allowing understanding to emerge gradually through return and sustained looking.
