It is not my intention to recreate nature, but only to imagine and interpret its permutations as it grows and dies and offers sighs of its magnitude. The kindness of the sun and the grace of the earth humble me, and I try to find alignment. A deep struggle is taking place that challenges our invisible connection to the world. I respond by the act of making to help me wrestle the hunger to make the unknown visible.
