In this evolving print installation, a rusted steel relief plate—shaped like a rudimentary wing—was pressed over 150 times to form an unbound book of monoprints. Its most recent iteration was exhibited at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum during ArtPrize 2017 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Although not originally conceived for this site, the work’s intent resonates with the museum’s own mission: to serve as both memorial and record of a weighty moment in time.

The wing’s form echoes familiar depictions of angelic figures, yet it does not belong to one. Instead, it belongs to a person burdened with something undeserved. Through repetition, the dense, rusted weight of a single wing disperses across more than 150 impressions—transforming heaviness into multiplicity, and creating a vast, cumulative book of wings that evokes both endurance and release
