Shadow Maps is a meditation on the fleeting, layered, and contradictory nature of being alive. Rooted in the tension between holding on and letting go, this body of work explores impermanence, memory, and the quiet clarity that emerges when we stop resisting time’s pull. Inspired by Prince’s reflection, "I am attached to this life as I pass through to what comes next," it charts an inner landscape shaped by subtle traces we leave and carry. Like shadows on a wall or wind over a field, each piece asks: What clarity comes when we pause the noise and simply listen? Shadow Maps invites viewers to live fully in the now — to embrace memory without clinging, to find sacredness in suffering, and to meet life with open eyes and hearts. These works are reminders: attention is an act of love. Joy takes time. And life continues — whether we notice or not.

These works were developed out of Prince’s time in residence at iolair on Orcas Island, WA. 

September 4 through 29 at Prairie Underground, 940 S Harney St, (Georgetown) Seattle, WA

Jean Body Engagement: Saturday, September 13 from 2-6 PM

Free and open to the public during GEORGETOWN ART ATTACK!

Drop-off your used denim jean donations at Prairie Underground! Donations dropped during the month of August will be picked up, processed, and brought back to be used during the free public community “Jean Body Engagement” during the September 2025 Georgetown Art Attack!

The upcoming Jean Body Engagement features the continuation of Prince’s Jean Bodies in which completed sculptures will be on view and a new work will be developed in a free public engagement at Prairie Underground. Event attendees are invited to participate throughout the activation; bringing jean donations to the location during the month of August and throughout Prince’s exhibition Shadow Maps, in the process of handworking the materials together, and in conversation. As community members “finish” handworking their contribution the artist will work them together, creating one sculpture as a relic of real community and space for conversation around what reuse can look like in daily life.
