ARTIST STATEMENT
If we wrap our naked soul’s in the raw and mysterious power of nature, taking refuge, we would leave personal artifacts, vessels with the voice of nature. The human experience is explored through natural materials which bring the viewer away from the controlled man made world and into the raw and mysterious realm of Nature where I believe we are vulnerable and the most real.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
I have been working with the concept of our spiritual and psychological relationship with nature for the last 28 years, attempting to help create a better relationship between ourselves and nature. In our culture, we have separated ourselves from nature. We have stepped away from farms and forests and into our own constructs, leaving us with an ineffable sense of loss.
My work intends to remind the viewers of our connection to the natural world on a gut level. Helping them to reconnect to nature. The human experience is explored through natural materials which bring the viewer away from the controlled man made world and into the raw and mysterious realm of Nature where we are vulnerable and the most real. Natural forms and materials remind us of what has been lost and triggers a connection that may have been left fallow.
