Unraveling was inspired by a flood that took place at Ursula Von Rydingsvard’s home in Brooklyn, NY: "My entire yard turned into a river. It was truly alarming and anger-provoking that I had no control over what the river needed to do. It carried …whatever was in the yard…down with it. It took whatever it wanted to take…. [Unravelling] expresses an interest in the flow of energy from something that might have, at one time, felt very substantial to a kind of dissolution … as it makes its way downward.
