to see inside
to understand it's components
to learn what makes up the greater whole
This desire drives most of what I do.
Endless opportunity is always holding out it's hands - wiggling it's fingers - teasing us - saying "Come touch me if you dare - get to know me - I am so much more than you think you see."
When I reach out to touch those fingers, and I connect, I am rapt in the wonders of that which the elements have made. My art comes from this place. Naturally.
The pieces below are one of a kind, as they are unable to be reproduced. They are made of icicles that were created during the winter storms of early 2011. Photography was used to capture the work, however, I am not a photographer, I am someone with a camera. Photography, like the use of light and heat manipulation, is just of the one components that makes up this mixed media art.
New works will be added periodically. These pieces, along with others will be on exhibit at the H-Art Gallery in Peekskill, NY. (Details to follow) The opening reception will be on April 20, 2012.
