Installation views, "Vessels of Change", 2020
The sculptures reference plants and growth I have studied during past artist residencies in wilderness areas of the earth. We are now isolated from the unique solace of the wide open spaces (COVID context). Community interactions have become limited and many long to once again be with loved ones in other countries. We are more cut-off than ever from Nature and from each other, relying on technology to help fill the gaps. Organic forms captivate me because their structure suggests how living beings incrementally adapt to circumstances. In this context the sculptures become drawings in space, a three dimensional mark-making symbolic of how each of us is trying to respond to the new reality we find ourselves in.
​The theme of vessels as signifiers of human experience underpins this body of work. In recent times, we humans have experienced greater levels of drama but also of ennui. As we have started living even more of our lives online, there is a need to connect with the tactile, the physical, the sensuous. The material experience brings about an understanding of our lived experience that is deeper than words and logic. The collapsing cell-like forms within the sculptures reflect in many ways our current way of life- individual and discrete worlds interwoven with the whole, caving-in yet ever evolving; pulled, pushed, impacted, vulnerable, growing. The interwovenness symbolizes the connections in our lives- the connections we urban dwellers have with Nature, but also with people around the globe.

Curatorial Essay
-My work finds inspiration from forests, from trees and plants and lichens and moss and fungi and mushrooms- from things that grow and decay. In this series  I have broken down everyday urban and industrial materials and fashioned them into the forms and textures of Nature. Each piece functions as a kind of “urban veil” symbolic of an attempt to look beyond the distractions of city life that obscure and disallow the spiritual clarity that is accessible in Nature.
