"I’m interested in how we, as humans, create and practice rituals around loss in all it’s many forms; and the purpose that serves. I’ve recently begun exploring burial shrouds as art objects. “Burial Shroud 1: The Patriarchy” is the first shroud in a series. This piece is my invitation for the viewer to contemplate the end of the Patriarchy, what that might look like, and what comes next.
Welcome to the death rites of the Patriarchy, honey!"
