About

We make work about what remains after the moment has passed. Our collaboration explores domestic bliss as something layered and evolving—shaped as much by
memory as by presence. Working together, we merge different ways of seeing, using symbolism and transformation to elevate everyday life. Our King and Queen figures act as stand-ins for ourselves, reflecting partnership, balance, and identity over time. In works like Dance of Life, the home becomes a space where memory takes form.
Shadows fall across the walls from objects that are no longer there—a vase of fresh flowers, a banister once touched daily—marking the quiet persistence of what has been
lost. These unseen elements speak to the passage of time and the emotional landscape of an empty nest. Our work gives presence to absence, holding space for what lingers.

Bio

Laura is a Dodge grant recipient and her work is in both public and private collections.
