Description of Work:
Mirrored PMMA on aluminum backing, pinned off the wall. The artwork is in a number of pieces and fits together like a puzzle. The artwork spans across the concrete block lobby wall from side to side.

Artist Statement:
Each place is made up of various communities, intersecting in diverse ways like lines of energy: similarly, each of us is made up of varied histories, experiences, interests, the strands of one's identity. "ebb & flow" is a "snapshot," a moment in time, of a braided river. These rivers ebb and flow, come together, separate, change form and pattern - a metaphor for shifting, overlapping, interweaving communities, for the constant flux of society and culture.
