Initially, I conceived of being on the tightrope as a way to reveal some imagined state of neutrality between two opposing sides. Instead, through the effort and failure of these forward and backward movements, I discovered that it was the strength of my own backbone that kept me on the rope. Revisiting this work now gives new context to finding balance and perspective amidst times of uncertainty.” This is a part of our monthly collaboration with local artists.
