Husk enfolds, layers, and weaves bodily forms—ripples, nests, honeycombs, shells, skins, and husks—through materials like paper, fabric, and clay. It extends the boundaries and vulnerabilities of bodies, evoking flesh, skin, hair, and folds, as well as the softness of tissues. Husk reflects the cyclical shedding and regeneration of embodied experience, exploring processes of becoming and unbecoming, growth and decay, and the tension between protection and exposure. The work honors the body's intimacies and horrors through repeated acts of nurturing and husking.
