I didn't know what I was going to do for this show. 

I didn't know what I was going to do and I tested out a theory. 

Challenging myself to create a piece of art from whatever was within my arms' reach, I created I need to be in control at all times. 

Sitting at my studio desk, I watched my beckoning cat wave to me, away from me, to me, away. As the arm moved the body sat anchored in a bed of plastic grass, green plastic grass. To the left of those objects was a leftover bowl of lime green Jell-O and to its left, a stack of coffee filters. 

I took the coffee filters, cut around the exterior edge, removing it while making a lateral incision to cut the circle in half. Left with a thin strip of absorptive material, I rolled up the strips and dipped them in the leftover green Jell-O. The coloring was beautiful and I suddenly needed another material to hold that form: individual blades of plastic green grass. 

As with the rest of my works, I repeated this process until the stack of coffee filters was used up, and to make sense of it all, and to display the form that was: morse code. 

On the wall, repeated 12 times, its says, in morse code: 

I NEED TO BE IN CONTROL AT ALL TIMES.
