Cabal reconstitutes environments by studying and marking the progression of sunlight and streetlight. Using materials as diverse as spray paint, powdered ash, thread and tape, she succeeds in making a permanent record of a fleeting moment. Cabal says, “. . .it is static work, work that exists in space and evokes time, which has the power to reveal aspects of our constantly shifting lived experience.”
