Fuzzy Fields at Understory

Writing  ✺  Essays  ✺  2026

A collaborative text with Jamie Zimchek reflecting on Fuzzy Fields, an exhibition at UNDERSTORY that explores how meaning, memory, and communication persist across uncertain spaces and shifting narratives.

Fuzzy Fields is a collaborative essay written with Jamie Zimchek and published in CAN Journal for the upcoming exhibition Fuzzy Fields at UNDERSTORY. The essay reflects on themes of uncertainty, communication, and the shifting narratives that shape how we understand place and experience.

“My new works consider fuzzy fields as spaces where physical and digital connections coalesce but remain incomplete. I use fields as sites of activity—places that register presence, touch, and duration without resolving into fixed images or specific narratives. These works emerge from my interest in how communication persists across time and distance, often lingering as traces and memories of exchanges. By engaging written correspondence and processes shaped by light and exposure, I think about writing as gesture, residue, and embodied action rather than the explicit meaning of a message. Here, fuzzy fields operate as temporal spans and places of not knowing, where connection drifts, overlaps, and resists certainty.”
