Do You Ever Think of Me
Cast and frit-cast glass, 2024
As a child, I was afraid of the dark and not just of shadows, but of what I imagined was watching me from inside them. I couldn’t sleep without the TV on. Its flickering light and static hum became a kind of shield. Do You Ever Think of Me reflects the emotional terrain of childhood fear and the quiet negotiations we make with the night to feel safe. It's about the desire to be seen and the objects we assign power to: a TV screen, a light, a sound. They are fragile protections.
This piece is a memory object. A small cast glass television glows dark blue, echoing that safety screen. The frit-cast glass “screen” repeats the phrase Do you ever think of me - looping thoughts.
It’s part of a larger body of work exploring fear, memory, and the fragile objects we hold onto to survive the night.
