"Unearthing", Studio 301, Ruston, LA, 1/20-3/17/2017
"Shroud", Friends of the Arts Library, Durango, CO, 7/7-9/2/2017
All of my work stems from a need to investigate the natural world, how I fit into it, and how it has come to be the way it is. Histories of environment or inhabitant are represented through research, action, and process. I moved to the mountains recently and these two series, Unearthing and Shroud, grew out of a curiosity in the power contained within something as benign in appearance as stone. Everything reacts when disturbed.
