I look at the night sky and think about the bigger universe we inhabit and our place in it.

As a sort of water creature, I am passionate about bodies of water, our oceans, and the extraordinary life that exists there.

I like that we were creatures who lived in the sea before we figured out how to crawl up onto land and breathe the air.

I am awed by the idea that the carbon of the stars can still be found in our bones.

My play with 'mirroring' these entities- the cosmos and the ocean, comes from my interest in how different 'systems' in nature reflect one another, both physically and metaphorically.

Jellyfish are spaceships and the Milky Way lives in those phosphorescent tidal currents...

telling stories, mapping experience, looking for clues
making sense of being in the world, inquiry, exploration
holding things dear. what is precious
choosing what to look at, making up the world the way I want it,
choosing how to look at things, making what I want to see
remembering what is important
to look at the work is about looking into the work
to enter into it, cross a portal to another world
to see it is to go over and be inside that other realm,
that other world is inside us, our memories, dreams and reflections.
doing the work is sacred, ritualistic,
embarking on and calling the sublime
