The metamorphosis of the minute into the monumental is an astonishing, yet relatively commonplace transformation. Sedimentary rock shows that dust can become mountains. Trees delineate the passage of time with each ring of new wood. Seconds eventually become millennia. Even our own fingernails grow one microscopic layer at a time. The accumulation of nearly imperceptible things is how much of the world, both material and immaterial, is built -- one layer on top of another.

Eventually, small parts piled on top of each other coalesce into a newer larger thing. In a 1972 Interview, Buckminster Fuller said: “What you do with yourself, just the little things you do yourself, these are the things that count.” These little things, although minuscule are far from insignificant. They are the building blocks of mountains, a self or an epoch.

This series of two-dimensional works is constructed of layers of thin tissue or parchment on panel. Patterns emerge and an overall form develops as one layer is laid down above another. The object, and the process by which it was made, are observed simultaneously allowing the viewer to perceive the passage of time through non-time based media.
