Portraits, 2025
Cut lengths of industrial flagging tape are folded, tangled, and gathered into dense accumulations, then either pressed between glass or housed within shallow frames that allow interior volume.
In the pressed works, the material is compressed into graphic, planar compositions. Fluorescent yellows, reds, and pinks — alongside black, white, and green — overlap into sharp-edged formations that read as abstracted image while remaining visibly synthetic.
In the framed works, the tape is given space to expand. It curls and knots into dimensional clusters that approach vegetal massing. Across both formats, a material used to mark and divide landscape is reorganized into contained systems of color, density, and form.

Color fields extends trees rivers roads through the material language of logging and land survey. These works are woven from vinyl and high-visibility flagging tape — the same fluorescent ribbon used to mark cut lines, property edges, and routes through forest.
The structure of weaving carries its own regional weight. In the Pacific Northwest, woven forms have long held relationships to land, labor, and identity. Here, that structure remains, but the fiber is synthetic — petroleum-based, mass-produced, designed for visibility and command.
The tape is slight, almost fragile. Yet it signifies authority: division, intention, future action. In these works, a material meant to designate territory is slowed into pattern.
