Circumscribe installed as a part of my MFA Thesis Exhibition in the Helen E. Copeland Gallery on the Montana State University Campus.

The text reads:

28,022 inches of 100% cotton kitchen string used to measure the entire circumference of the artist’s body. Stacked and wrapped and wound. Then slack and loose. Then winding in upon itself collapsing the space it once described. Squeezing it all out and replacing it only with itself. Round and large. The body is removed. The description/restriction is what is left. A record and receipt. When I draw with the string I lay it down with my hands. Moving in a clockwise direction. Slowly, slowly expanding and aerating what has been squeezed away. Where the string is—my body has been. Where the string is—my body has been.
