Using the frame of a sculptural weave I can create a portal in a particular space, open a gateway, a channel for reciprocity between worlds; a window where there was once a barrier.
Communion, is an ongoing journey and collection of sculptural paintings offered as wild craft and land-based art.
These works connect to place through relationality. This work describes and embodies these relations in narrative, process and material. They are blooms of ecological connections and collective unconsciousness.
Relations are honored through through study (time spent on the Land), ritual (intentional ceremony) and outdoor installations (Land offerings).
The painted and pigment-stained raw canvas mythologizes personal, natural and cultural experience. They are movements of honoring self/land experience, windows into womanhood, healing and reciprocity with our homes. The narrative details maps and guides to time, self and entanglemnet.
Like all stories, these temporary environmental installations harness the beauty and power of the ephemeral. Occupying each space momentarily to be embraced, transformed and released. They are free to both move or sit in stillness, all the while open and exposed to their telling. The story and paintings gather a diverse collection of viewing and interaction. For example, with the dynamic, wind, light, sounds and space in outdoor environments and the controlled, still, quiet space of gallery environments.
"Art is important for it commemorates the seasons of the soul, or a special or tragic event in the soul’s journey. Art is not just for one self , not just a market of one’s own understanding. It is also a map for those who follow after us."
--Women Who Run With Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estes
“The artist has returned to create new forms of expression to resacralize, re-enchant, remythologize.”
--The Time Falling Bodies Take to Light, William Irwin Thompson
