A meandering line is a rich metaphor. It can refer to a river, stream, road, branch, vein, journey, narrative, or time itself. Up until now, I've used it as a motif in my work to signify one specific place, but I'm discovering it permeates everything. I've been collecting stories of my relatives and ancestors where meandering bodies of water serve as the setting and also play a major role in the narrative.
I started with a set of gesture sketches, one for each narrative. I will create a set of drawings, plaster cast objects, and papier-mache forms to depict each one. I will also write a narration to accompany each collection of works. I'm still considering whether the narration will be recorded or provided in text.
