The Unconformity series began as a quiet revelation about perception and place. Beginning in early 2020, these hand-cast concrete sculptures became a reflection of the landscape surrounding my studio—a small spot of woodland in Massachusetts that I had unknowingly been taking for granted.
Careful observation became my practice. I started documenting the subtle transformations of this environment: the gradual greening-up of mosses in the fall, the blooming cover of shadows as the summer leaves fill out, the shifting light through the seasons. Each drawing and note (see the Daily Drawing project) became a study of time's choreography—moments I typically overlooked I now tried to capture with intention.
These sculptures represent this landscape, but they also do more. They are translations of environmental change—translating light into texture, color into pattern, growth and decay into form. Each piece captures a moment of continuous change and holds it still, documenting a single place through time.
The series asks me to look and observe differently—to stop, to recognize the easily-missed continuous changes happening every day. It is an exploration of belonging, of understanding our relationship to the environments that shape us, and the imperceptible changes that pull us, moment by moment, through time.
