The Great Spirit and all the creatures in nature communicate to us in our daily lives, but we must be aware of our natural surroundings and we must be perceptive to the messages and signs that they hold. Native American culture and values have long resonated with me because of their deep emphasis on respect, appreciation and preservation of nature’s eco-systems.
My process is deeply spiritual and my work is an expression of prayer, depicting organic images as sacred artifacts. My installation reflects the earth’s cyclical and ever-evolving patterns, and creates an environment that leads viewers to feel the healing power and spiritual guidance of nature.
We have a moral obligation to take an active role in the environmental crisis facing our planet. My hope is to educate people about the challenges our planet faces and the crucial need for humans to re-consider their every day practices- which leave a permanent footprint behind and disturb the earth’s natural rhythms.
i love all of this. i'm sorry we didn't get a chance to hang out before i left, but i trust our spirits will reconnect at the right time. until then, enjoy life! <3
