Palimpsest was a durational project created at Djerassi during August 2017. I created a beaded rectangle in the shape and dimensions of a standard US flag and stenciled a quote onto the studio wall. The work was a contemplation of land ownership, ethics, and displacement. Over time, I erased the phrase, allowing the eraser dust to gather on the studio's molding and floor, representing the unjust erasure of one culture to create a blank slate for another.
