When I think about Hedi's work I think of simplicity and flawless execution. Even the seemingly complex structures she's developed are best articulated in a spare and elegant style. Her work has informed mine in terms of pushing me to explore possibilities that are both inventive and structurally sound. With this piece I wanted to honor the preservation work she's done and use it as a departure point for looking at the idea of preservation from a personal point of view. This piece is part of the body of work called Finding Home, which brings found objects together with an exploration of broken lineage.
