Brushes: 2023

3.5” × 3” × 0.5" | Acrylic, horsehair, steel fasteners
Brushes materializes the sensory impulse to touch and feel. Constructed from acrylic, horsehair, and steel, the pair balances industrial precision with intimacy. The silhouette of the bristles mirrors the artist’s side profile, transforming a utilitarian tool into a personal artifact. Trimmed from a peer’s horse, the coarse bristles resist softness, while the interlocking handles and custom display frame underscore their duality as both instruments and portraits.
