Speak with Force examines how materials register pressure and carry it forward. In the scorched wood pieces, repeated contact with heat and abrasion redirects the grain, producing channels that record where force entered, slowed, and dispersed. In the rawhide works, tension stretches the surface into a held plane, where cuts, pulls, and embedded elements reorganize the skin from within.

Across the body of work, force operates structurally and over time. The materials absorb strain, resist it, and reorganize around it. What comes into view is the record of that endurance: how a surface holds under sustained pressure, how it shifts without collapsing, and how the history of contact remains present even after the action has ceased. The work carries that persistence forward, allowing effort, limit, and adaptation to remain visible rather than resolved.
