"If I had to distill my experience participating in FRONT 2022 to one word, it would be collaboration. I was introduced to so many generous and creative people during the process and had the pleasure of working on projects that were outside of the usual bounds of my creative practice. Enamel pins, large-scale installations, and even furniture design. Some of the projects went smoothly, while others weren’t realized. Despite some setbacks, the process of participating in FRONT 2022 helped expand the bounds of my creative practice."
