My We Are Sorry, Never Again series was inspired by a visit to the Topaz Internment Camp site near Delta, Utah. A previous visitor to the site had used gravel from the parking area to spell out “WE ARE SORRY / NEVER AGAIN” on a concrete slab. Using satellite imagery of the hillside letters scarring Utah’s mountains that celebrate towns and schools, I redirected the letters to spell out a monumental, statewide apology—turning symbols of public pride into public contrition. The piece was updated in 2025 to "We Are Sorry, Here We Go Again" to reflect the rhyming of history.
This project was created to emphasize that our conceptions of color are not just optical, but linguistic as well. I created a website that would randomly generate the names of colors. Without the color itself, the name only conjures the idea or the possible parameters of the color. The Imaginary Color Name Generator can produce over 375,000 unique color names.
