between walls

10 minutes (2023)

Program Notes
"between walls" is inspired by the textures and complexity of woven fabric and the duality of seeing through individual threads and how these complex parts shape into a form. The piece explores this duality through extending and stretching the in-between to reveal subtleties within strands of a texture, shifting between larger shapes and closeup detail.
