BRICK is a miniscule insertion into existing architectural space fashioned from National Archives U.S. Army documentary
footage of the Rubble Women (Trümmerfrauen) who cleared out bombed out Berlin after World War II brick by brick. This work
examines aftermath(s) and interactions with the unknowable and the unfathomable that become intimately commonplace. BRICK
is about our present day disconnect from the physical realities of aerial bombing, the continual and contemporary surgical
eradication of people, places and objects carried out far from home at our comfortably blind behest.
