Sundowning (2025) reflects the artist’s ongoing interest in enigmatic text, which he often incorporates into both his titles and his multidisciplinary practice which includes weavings, sculpture, film, and other media. The piece features laterally inverted text that, when corrected, reads: “The thoughts of our inevitable and separate deaths fill my heart with intolerable grief”–a phrase apocryphally attributed to 1970s conceptualist Bas Jan Ader.
