ARTIST STATEMENT:
"I want to draw my viewers into an archetypal world where the fundamental forces of destruction and renewal, of rending chaos and of healing emergence, are played out in symbolic terms, in our spiritual, ecological and psychological realms. As layers of meaning are revealed in the interweaving of familiar forms, such as birds, whales, rabbits, trees and shells, the viewer is afforded his or her own private renewal, a kind of wordless understanding of the elements which govern nature, and thus our lives."
