Where Air Becomes Solid (2015-2016)


The first iteration of this project was a 30-minute performative slideshow, titled “An After-Dinner Slideshow.”

The second iteration of this project took place across two exhibitions through the Hatch Residency at Chicago Artist’s Coalition.

The third iteration of this project was part of the curatorial project, “Home Viewing.”

Exhibited at: Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago Artists Coalition, Home Viewing, Cobalt Art Studio, North Branch Projects
Where Air Becomes Solid is a collection of photogaphs, viewing devices, diagrams, and artifacts inspired by the 19th century liasion between arctic explorer, Elisha Kent Kand and his young lover, the spiritualist Maggie Fox.

Through a series of works and installations, I used Kane and Fox’s story to explore the limits of vision and knowledge, focusing on liminal spaces where visibility ceases and immediate perception gives way to ediated knowledge.
