Praxis explores what happens when research moves beyond reading and begins to be understood through the body. Inspired by observing Indiana University Indianapolis archaeology students and becoming an apprentice in fine art framing and restoration, the exhibition reflects a shared pursuit of preservation, craftsmanship, and care. Whether preserving human remains, restoring works of art, or creating paintings, understanding is shaped through repetition, careful reconstruction, and the responsibility of working with our hands.

Praxis is a body of figurative paintings reflecting a return to the role of student and the life long pursuit of knowledge through practice.
