Pala
polyvinyl acetate on glass window panes
88" x 140"
2022

Pala is an installation of impressions taken from bricks revealed by renovation in the basement of the Peale Center in Baltimore, MD and then adhered to select panes of windows in the Garden View Gallery.

This work brings to light forgotten and unseen parts of the Peale that correspond to its complex and layered history. The covering and recovering of the building blocks of the institution, with their visible transformation, is a metaphor for changes that have occurred to the building and the city of Baltimore.

My work with the Peale also included a September 10th, 2022 appearance on curator Catherine Borg’s bi-weekly GutsyRadio show. We gave listeners a tour of the Peale basement via my field recordings and discussed my art, sound, and music practice.
