Broom Sculpture: From Racine
Type 0-24-DK
2025
Found driftwood with bug trails, hand-carved trails, ash, grass and plant fibers, string
Broom Sculpture: From Racine is my first site-specific broom sculpture and the first sculpture I performed with. At a residency in Racine, I found a long piece of driftwood with bug trails carved into it. I carved my own trails, leaving my mark, embedded them with ash, and harvested grass and plant fibers to make the broom. It was summer. In the fall, I returned to the site to remake the broom using fall fibers.
Racine is located in the Eastern Townships of Québec, a place of personal significance that I visit annually.
