Have you contemplated the absence of something of which the outline has been preserved? Have you noticed the residue that clings to your hands after handling objects from the past? Have you observed how hair tangles and clogs channels, or burrows into your sweater? Through documentation, I reveal the marks of time. Knot- ting fine strands captures a chronology of moments. Ta- ping causes stains to accumulate on a dusty, silver surface. A visible collection of holes record the act of pinning. Fusing silver particles preserves a ring of dust. Collective- ly, these residual marks recite the language of time.
