Biography
My work primarily deals with the spirit world: that conduit space between physical temporal consciousness and the ambiguities and complexities of the soul. I pull from a wide variety of sources, including mythologies/folklore, natural history, ancient art and literature, 19th century women’s writing, mystic teachings, and contemporary popular culture. My hope is to inspire a sense of wonder and awe: both gateways to exploring the spirit. Wonder implies heightened questioning—the kind of questioning that expands one’s understanding of the world, opens unexplored territories that beget more unexplored territories. Awe implies gravity: a sudden and deeper awareness of the immensity, immeasurability or unquantifiable quality of a thing. Often I feel that I am not creating my working, rather that it is an entity revealing itself to me; I am merely its conduit, its storyteller.
