I am preparing to make a new body of work and in doing so, I collect images. I try to put together images of what I’m googling or images I’ve taken with my phone. I find these collages important to the work, in a way they begin the conversation. I’m thinking of this forced relaxation or a constructed experience of the natural, which lends itself to pools. I want the fun, refreshing, and cool but I also want the impractical. The chlorine scented hair, pruney skin, and the cold feeling you can’t shake off hours after you have left.

Here’s to making those ideas reality!
