Every day, when I came into the gallery, I walked around in, looking at how my previous day of work was integrating, transforming the gallery space, how it breathed, how it evolved, how it lived. Looking at paper fragments that had fallen on the floor, searching for another place to hang them, at another form to transform them.

​

I created my own drawing tools in the form of very long fingers out of paper. I used those tools to draw with ink and to touch and feel the gallery, the world that I was creating.

​

I terraformed the gallery in the first week of the residency, to accommodate the creature that will be emerging in the second week. This creature was made out f papers that had fallen on the floor or were picked from the wall. These resources were then grafted onto a hyperthermia blanket using embroidery thread. This creature ended up being a representation of water, making rain and waves sounds as it moves. The creature is also masked, or has its head bandaged, mending the bones of the head, a head that has been broken, mending a broken mind.
