Seeking to be witnessed, fragments of this gushing are cut open and reach across to another in a desire for intimacy, while remaining opaque in its approach to confessional art. 

Weaving text, voice, and image, [notes] gushing is an exploration of the self in a time of loss. The artist finds solace in and draws lines to the works of writers and artists Derek Jarman, Danielle Collobert, Moyra Davey, Roland Barthes and Maggie Nelson.

wound.
