Altar

Altar is a meditation on the cycles of water, labor, and growth. Surrounding a dried indigo plant, the quiet end of a lifecycle, are twelve panels of indigo-dyed fabric. Six shibori pieces represent the journey from seed to plant, a transformation that relies on the purity of water the artist used to grow the plants, extract the pigment, and dye the fiber. By touching your phone to the pestle, you are invited into a digital rain altar. Here, language is not preserved, but weathered as words fall, flicker, and dissolve into the depths, returning to the fluid state from which they emerged.
