“Exercise and needlepoint. Hard to execute simultaneously, but they feel intrinsically related to me. The hands, our bodies, repetition, and the belief in self- improvement are touchstones. The wellbeing and appreciation of body and mind over time. In 1977, Rosalind Krauss argued sculpture was about time and space. I agree and think exercise and needle crafts are too. For Passages, I combined 80s homo-erotic photographs from a 1983 Charles Hix coffee table book and the elegantly minimal needlework patterns found in a 1972 craft book.” -Aaron Krach
