Through my practice, I have considered the role of the afterlife in our earthly existence and contemplated such questions as, is this life an afterlife of a life we have lived before? My visual inspiration began with a jade ring-shaped object called Bi. Bi is an ancient Chinese artefact often used as a burial object to assist the deceased in their journey to the afterlife. For myself, the ideology of an afterlife is routed in time. Lives, how many of them are unknown, pivot around time. The cyclic nature of the torus in my collection represents the cycle of death and rebirth that all material things undergo. Each torus has its own individual story told through intricate patterns and textures. I use the act of meticulously creating each detail repeatedly as a meditation that brings a timelessness to the making process, mirroring the ongoing journey of an afterlife.
