I was invited to create this installation at Emmaus Way in Durham. Over the course of Advent, I worked in a make-shift studio space in one of the storefront windows on Saturdays and Sunday evenings during church meetings. Each week the pieces would change and become more detailed, and since I was working in public [...]
