Acts of Small Repair is an ongoing body of work composed of burned, stained, printed, and sewn fragments. The works begin with painted and printed papers that are torn rather than measured or planned. Their irregular edges retain evidence of cutting, handling, and change.

Through layering, abrasion, smoke, and mark-making, I alter the surfaces and reconfigure them into small dimensional forms. Thread functions as both structure and drawn line, moving across and through the fragments without concealing how the work was made. Each piece carries a record of accumulation, interruption, and transformation.

Installed directly on the wall with rusted brads, the works respond to space, shadow, and placement. They can exist individually or in shifting constellations, allowing relationships to emerge among them without resolving into a single fixed arrangement.

In Acts of Small Repair, repair is not a return to an earlier or unbroken state. It is a way of acknowledging what has been damaged, changed, or lost while allowing its traces to remain visible. Each small act becomes part of the fragment’s continuing history—evidence not of restoration, but of what has endured and what is still becoming.
