| For me, the natural world is a place where I find both relief and inspiration. It is filled with irony in its balance of life and death that is a mirror of our own lives. The parallels of life and death, dark and light, weak and strong, small and large, near and far are all found in the natural world. But in both places, an equilibrium exists. The new work I am doing is based upon the juxtapositions of these opposing realities. I appreciate the delicacies I observe when studying something at close range. But I also respond to being totally enveloped by a place. Smaller pieces require closer examination; larger work can be experienced from a distance, but when viewed closer can engulf and surround you. The experiences are totally different, but together they give a more realistic and whole experience as well as a sense of place. |
