PHASE TRANSITION

This installation moves and evolves, just as the title, Phase Transition, alludes to its conceptual framework. Tiny fragments of Judge’s mother’s ephemera are recast into glass, suspended, and then covered with a patina of dripping paint. These minute objects echo her mother’s dissociation with everyday objects while she was living with Parkinson’s disease dementia.

In this image, the artist moves through the exhibition space- a blurred silhouette caught in a transition of memory, grief, and the present moment.”
