Ecological odes explore the life
and essence of natural forms and of my body.
I mark where my body connects with the ground. I feel the peace of stillness. I explore the life around me (sumac berries, an ocean shore, marsh grasses) in connection to my self.
I use what I find or what is left behind: burnt wood, old cloth, onion skins, iron ore, soil, and thread left by my grandmother. Life and love are in the materials.
The images are messy, open and free. There is symmetry and a focus on the core that echoes human anatomy. Spontaneous occurrences and transformation are also part of the process and the pieces. The art is full of life and love.
