“The Teal Project” is my current ongoing body of work. In December 2025, I began to question what it would look like to analyze a hyper-specific color in a monochromatic format. With this study, new approaches to materials and techniques have arisen like using found objects. Using teal found objects are a challenge and requires a sharp eye to find them. The experiences in which you find them are unique as well. These challenges and experiences lends itself to the background and storytelling of these pieces. Each piece holds specific kinds of personal narratives which are then reflected into general subject manner. Overall, the storytelling from the material is referenced back to the symbolism of the color teal. Rejuvenation. Calm. Balance. Harmony.

Finding Power

Yesterday, had full power

Woke up today its dying

Cross the bridge

To find some

Today I think I’m crying

Pass these Hurdles

I see the sun

Now – I’m sighing

Yesterday heavy weight

Tomorrow…I hope I’m flying

Feel Again

Copper, titanium, reclaimed azobe, found plastic, cotton, embroidery floss, found nails
