When the outside world seems unkind and chaotic, I look to create order. I find fascination in geometry, and comfort in the trees, the starry skies, roots, birds and textures. Drawing offers a contemplative, healing meditation of sorts

THEY TRIED TO BURY US BUT THEY DIDNT REALIZE WE ARE THE SEEDS
This series of watercolour paintings explore beyond the surface, the seen, the known of the natural world.
They are roots, branches, wings, mycelium, seaweeds; they are energy and vibration.
They are my versions of how living elements communicate with each other: measurable, recorded energetic language.
The garden of the world has no limits except in your mind. ~Rumi

For this series of thirty-two drawings, I used pressed botanical pieces salvaged from experiments with boiled prints to draw from, arranging them from top to end, creating an enclosed space. These contemplative drawings reminded me of staring into space on a clear night when you see a layer of stars, then another and another. The endless perceivable space contained by the objects within our periphery is the gap of unknown, the divine matrix or the dream state where the musical overlaps with the tangible. In some small way, these pieces represent those possibilities.
