Installations / Similarities Attract #1, #2, #3

Similarities Attract is an installation composed of nine hand-pulled monotype prints on Tyvek. After each print dried, thousands of small, grain-like shapes were cut into the non-inked areas, creating negative patterns that weave through and connect the composition. Each print was then hand-sewn to form a unified panel.
The work reflects an ongoing exploration of material, process, and the experience of moving between places and building community. Each print is unique, yet together they form a cohesive whole—stronger and more dynamic than any individual part.
