Statement

This installation contains wax, fabric, dirt, water, plastic and tubing. Through bundling and precarity, I explore care and tensions within and among human and non-human communities. Borrowing its title from Ursula K. LeGuin’s The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, the space features droopy anti-heroes of ambiguously familiar stories. I use repetition of the vessel form as a means to express the notion of multiple narratives and simultaneous truths. They are parts of a teaming, caressing, churning, absorbing, expelling being.
