My artist statement: As a maturing woman gazing into her yet to come, I deeply connected to the contemplations of the artist in his moment captured in time. Inspiring me to create a personal interpretation of my own intimate and spiritual connection with Life to Death, and nature. Using a hand crafted copper and stone tree to represent my own hand grasping onto the knowledge that I too will someday " Be a part of this land when I return to the earth." Incorporating petrified wood, stone, and bird feathers gathered upon many nature walks, each piece having their individual unique story to tell. Along with a combination of fresh and dried florals to depict the Eb & flow of Life and Death in nature, and the gentle beauty I see in both.
