Broken is what is left. What is left, that didn’t agree to collapse. Broken is instead a deliberate withholding in a field of injury suggestive of interior rupture of a mind and body. The gold lines work ambiguously as fracture, suture or constraint, refusing to resolve into a single symbolic register. There is self-containment and protection rather than repose in this piece. The figure sources comfort with no other presence to offer it. Produced in the aftermath of the artist's divorce in 2018, Broken was revisited and reworked over successive years. The piece resists a fixed, finished state, functioning as a durational record. With each visit, the artist returns but is never the same as she leaves it. This piece is offered as a statement of grief, through an ongoing documentation of metabolizing labor.
