In 2018, I spent 2 weeks in a inpatient medical research study. I treated this time as an artist residency, creating the initial concept that would become my film "A Place to Rest; Syncopated," a piece that takes in a single room and is often constrained by its floor plan. Beyond research for my film, I created these abstractions of the walls of the hospital room I was in. I became intrigued by the ways the shapes of the practical and medical components of the space mimic the modernist art that the institution, like so many others, favored.
