Humans and Nature; what once was a symbiotic relationship is now very tenuous. I used to try to convey that tension through my work, most notably by hanging rocks. I wanted people to see and relate and understand the toll our presence is taking on this planet by trying to control it; but it always felt so negative. As I grew, the world became less black and white. My work evolved to convey the perdurable Nature I observe and consider to be sacred. I began creating work that captures this essence. Simple. Unfettered. Anutpada.

A raven in flight, turns. The sun reflects off its back and the black bird flashes white. Light on black - reflects in white.
Simple observations like this are what inspire me.
