Towards Grace are a series of granite wall works evoking the spiritual, the dance floor, the night sky, and memorial.

The granite surfaces are painted with liquid bronze and brass, which are then oxidized with a tiffany green patina. This technique of painting and mark making on stone is a method I have continued to develop over the past three years.

Notions of trace, absence, gesture, and ephemera remain as through lines across my practice. My background in printmaking fostered an interest in how the manipulation of a surface—such as scars on skin or embossing on paper—alters how it is perceived, and has informed my approach to creating politically grounded, relational work.

These paintings function as both a document and a mirror–the surface reflects while seemingly radiating light outwards.  Each piece is sealed with an archival oil-based varnish, which causes the light reflected by the metal powder to glow.

The term ‘grace’ functions both as a descriptor of movement in dance, and as a quality associated with the divine. Grace is not something that can be earned or taken. Akin to love, it is only given, and given freely.

For each work purchased, portion of the sale of these works will go towards the Middle East Children’s Alliance.
