NACRE

A pearl begins with something foreign. What follows is not decoration, but a response.

Layer upon layer, the unexpected becomes embedded. The surface changes, but the evidence remains.

Nacre considers what we carry, what we build around, and what eventually becomes inseparable from us.

It has been a month since ANNEALING opened, and I am only now ready to speak about it.

The work was complete before I was ready to explain it. After months of building,  rebuilding, I needed some distance between the making and the remembering.

ANNEALING reflects on what happens after pressure, rupture, and change—what remains, what strengthens, and what we carry forward.

I have shared very little because I want the work to be experienced in person. 

ANNEALING remains on view through Friday, December 4.

If you have been meaning to see it, go stand with it.

I had the incredible privilege of attending the opening night of @soren.practice UAC Tiny Art Gallery installation. 

Put simply, it’s astonishing. I’m always in awe of what artists can create in whatever form their medium is. She happens to be skilled in many. 

Congrats on a great opening night! Go check it out if you appreciate good art!

Made for the unveiling of ANNEALING, in collaboration with the exhibiting artist @soren.practice 

Copper and cloth from the installation were reworked into a wearable piece. What remained became the ornament.

A further invitation, as ANNEALING moves from process into exhibition.

ANNEALING  brings together sculpture, drawing, altered textile, copper, and considering material transformation as both process and condition. Surfaces are torn, marked, suspended, and reconfigured, tracing the movement between vulnerability, pressure, and resilience.

ANNEALING

A study of what happens after heat,  of bodies altered by pressure, memory, and rupture.

The Architecture of Being Seen

I almost did not post this.

Not because I doubted the work, but because it is not the standard practice of Soren Studio, and I wanted to protect that.

In collaboration with the Brooks, I created the centerpiece for their Met Gala Watch Party, answering this year's theme, "Costume Art, Fashion Is Art."

And that is the question I kept returning to. If fashion is art, then what is a garment really doing? It is not decoration. It is composition. A garment holds line and weight and color the way a painting does, only it moves, only it breathes, only it becomes part of the person wearing it. Art you can stand inside.

So I built two figures. Two truths. Because a woman is never only one thing.

One crowned in gold and roses, rising out of a garden. One wrapped in emerald and soft ivory, quiet and modern and turned slightly away. One from history. One from now. Both of them art. Both of them true.

For me, art and fashion have never been separate. They have always lived in the same room, spoken the same language, shaped each other. And some time ago, before Soren Studio, I also worked in costume, with fabric in my hands, learning how a garment can build a character before a word is spoken. That chapter never left me. This project invited it back into the room.

None of this would have taken shape without art consultant @khara.woods who I collaborate with often and trust deeply and @upholsteredstudio, who translated it into cloth. I asked for something both abstract and literal. Upholstered Studio made it real.

I was stretched. I was excited. I made something I am proud of.

So here they are. Both of them. Both true.

When did you last do something outside what people expected of you? 👇

Annealing 2026

A suspended figure held between fracture and endurance. The work considers what remains after pressure, rupture, the transformation, and the altered form that emerges from surviving heat.

The surface begins as an accumulation of material events.

 Coffee is reduced to pigment and worked into the drop cloth through staining, saturation, abrasion, and repeated handling.

 The process is allowed to remain visible, it shifts in value, torn fibers, residue, and irregularities enter the material language rather than being concealed by it.
The scroll develops through this negotiation between cloth and intervention, its surface an index of heat, pressure, absorption, and time.

The fall, before the figure.
 Weight. Reach. The tension of holding on.

Opus — the defining labor. The one that cost the most.

Not every work is measured by what it took to make. Some are 
measured by what had to be surrendered.

Opus is the labor that changes the hand that makes it — 
demanding more than material, more than time, more than skill.

The cost remains inside the work.
