Concrete Canvasses, 2023-ongoing
shown at Canopy Projects , Austin, TX
This work uses discarded food packaging cast in cement to build a quiet, bodily architecture for attention and care. Botanical paintings embedded within the structure function like preserved fragments of life — held, repeated, and elevated through a form that echoes both domestic ritual and sacred ascent. The piece sits between ecology, memory, and devotion, asking how meaning is constructed when care is practiced through everyday materials.
These concrete canvases retain original packaging imprints—phrases like “Microwavable” or “Oven Safe” remain visible on the surface. These consumer-facing messages add a layered irony when paired with hand-painted portraits of wild plants, creating tension between industrial convenience and ecological reverence. The embedded text becomes part of the narrative, revealing how language and design normalize disposability in our daily lives.
