Projects Lightweight Anima

A children's Hummingbirds book was repurposed to express, through paintings, words, and rusted metal objects, the heavy weight of the Covid years and ecological crisis. These burdens, on the backs of such small, delicate creatures, are explored through a conceal and reveal process where some of the book's original text and photographs remain visible while others are whitewashed with primer. What remains is transformed through ink, watercolor, and collage.
