Scorch, 2012, explores notions of time by capturing in bronze the temporary transitional state of a magnolia budding. A sense of impermanence is rendered into a permanent form. The lengths of twine and pendulums of charcoal, infer trajectories of time and our inability to step outside these continuances.

Situational, 2013, also reflects the passage of time by documenting a clump of thistledown disintegrating in the breeze from an open window. The shifting angles of late afternoon sunlight and shadows give a sense of real time experience, as this entire work was filmed in a single afternoon.
