Joint Probability

– the likelihood of two or more independent or dependent events occurring simultaneously.

Joint Probability is a site-specific installation made for Area 405’s 2026 Tenant Show. This piece is 52 feet of single-stitch crochet made from used bed sheets, thrifted in Ocala, Florida; Harpers Ferry, West Virginia; Baltimore, Maryland; and Cullowhee, North Carolina.
