Transfer is a series of objects cast in white cement using geometric molds folded from colored paper. As the cement sets, color transfers from the paper into its surface, while moisture softens and distorts the folds. Straight edges and flat planes shift under the weight of the wet cement, retaining traces of the geometry from which they began.

We use geometry as a starting point, allowing the interaction of paper, cement, and gravity to reshape it. Each cast holds a tension between the order we establish and the changes we cannot fully control.
