Abstracted @ UFORGE Gallery
November 5-29, 2015 767 Centre St, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130 Opening Reception: November 6, from 6-8:30pm. To most, abstraction means a lack of representation, a vision of lines and shapes with no connection to reality. But the concept is in fact much more elastic, especially when used as a verb. Real-world subjects can become abstracted through various artistic techniques--cutting, flattening, deconstruction, merging, twisting, and obfuscation, to name a few.

For the past seven summers, I have had the opportunity to work with high school students during BU's Visual Arts Summer Institute. Each summer, I haul my art supplies to the 5th floor of 855 Commonwealth Avenue and set up a second home. The studio space I have used the past two summer faces east and has incredible views of downtown Boston. When I was a student at BU, I remember being surprised at the amazing sunsets that I could watch from Comm. Ave. Living in a city can be disorienting and it's easy to feel disconnected from nature. I loved taking time each day to stop and enjoy the view. The routine of going into the studio every day and seeing my work with fresh eyes is an exciting part of my process. I love being able to spread out my supplies and give myself time and space to find new connections between my ideas and materials. Over the summer, worked on a few new bodies of work including Paper Quilts and Cycles. I am back in my apartment now and have been making some new Paper Quilts, working with friends to create new college pieces, and brainstorming some ideas for new projects. Stay tuned...
The Chain Letter show was packed! I overheard one of the curators saying that there were about 1,200 artists involved! The walls of Samson Projects were completely covered with work. There were no wall labels, so it felt like a scavenger hunt trying to find my work and the work of my friends. Luckily I'm persistent. :) Boston Young Contemporaries @ 808 Gallery
June 25-August 6, 2010 808 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02215 The opening reception for the Boston Young Contemporaries was huge, complete with an assemble-your-own-sandwich sculpture. My good friends Katherine and Jonny came to the opening and took this picture of me next to my painting. The show will be up for another month. (Although the infamous opening night desserts are all gone...) Boston Young Contemporaries @ 808 Gallery
