The spectral is a realm of simultaneous grief and possibility. My drawings are destinations where knowing and unknowing, death and arrival, and surrender and endurance coexist. They inhabit thresholds of becoming, predicated on the impossible. A flame emerging in water. Through devotional accumulation of line, forms are suspended in states of emergence. Repetition notates coordinates of fluidity. Bodies, watery pathways, plant matter, and fire weave through ambivalence, collapsing space and time towards ontological possibility.
Knowing the ghostly as living subject, feeling the apparitional ruptures from perception, and seeing the presence of frequencies of the atmosphere – the spectral calls upon an epistemological framework that demands other ways of being and remaining. How can specters, birthed under systems of power and violence, be a space of agency and knowledge? When does a trace materialize capacities of becoming that this world refuses to see? What does it mean to make the invisible tangible?
