Quiet disruption
This is my peace offering, a quiet distraction, amidst the constant noise and chaos…
There is so much beauty in this world that these works invite us all to live and fight for. My work combines my love for nature’s endless transitions and transformations, of changing color, temperature, drama with the practice of being in the studio with my assorted materials and wild foraged collections. The results are works of intuitively focused, visual embodiments of experiential reflection. It is a message of quiet disruption; a respite amidst the whirling storm raging all around that remembers “I am here.”
Using traditional and contrived tools, as well as natural and fabricated materials, I have created peace offerings. Visual moments of distraction to quiet the mind and soothe the heart. I invite the viewer to rest one’s mind in a snippet of calm, to disrupt the chaos of the status quo and simply be. We need quiet disruption.
