Amalgamation

with Charles Havelka at the Germantown Community Library in Germantown, TN. Aug 2024-Aug 2025

“Amalgamation is a 15-foot-long sculpture that transforms the structure of a Chinese Dragon Centipede kite into a human spine. Crafted from wood and embellished with a quilted patchwork of clothing and upholstery fabric donated by friends and family, this colossal sculpture unifies Eastern and Western cultures, personal histories, and artistic expression. This piece invites viewers to consider the intricate relationships between people and cultures, questioning the concept of assimilation in favor of more reciprocal and rewarding cultural interaction.”
