Expanding Horizion

Expanding Horizon is both an exploration of materials and a meditation on the themes of impermanence and renewal. It reflects the spirit of spring through the transformation of reclaimed materials, symbolizing both the fragility and resilience of life. The installation creates an intimate, immersive experience where the community’s contributions are physically embodied, fostering reflection on the cycles of life, growth, and transformation.

Prince's installation, "Expanding Horizon," explores themes of impermanence, renewal, and communal interconnectedness. The materials—worn clothing, fabric scraps, and other items donated by Horizon House residents—reflect the passage of time and life's cyclical nature. In their weathered and fragmented state, these objects are transformed into something new, symbolizing growth and regeneration. The smaller Remnant Body sculptures, scattered and suspended around the main piece, suggest individual lives converging to create a collective whole—an expression of blooming, unity, and renewal.

"Woven Together" (2025) is a large-scale fiber sculpture (approx. 60 x 38 inches, variable) created from reclaimed and donated materials in a two-day collaborative process between Prince and the Horizon House community in Seattle, WA. Surrounding this central work are several smaller companion "Remnant Bodies" (2025, various dimensions), crafted by Prince using the remaining reclaimed materials after the community collaboration. The central sculpture is suspended in space, encircled by the smaller works, forming an immersive installation in which the pieces engage with each other and the surrounding environment.

Woven Together was created by Prince in collaboration with the Horizon House community (Seattle, WA) over two days in March 2025. Prince is forever grateful to the Horizon House community for their collaboration with her which birthed this project and made it possible.
