Artist Statement:
pate de verre - Humans, in
their drive to dominate and
control their environment,
have lost the connection to
peace and sanity. Meaning
cannot be found in invention
and possesions. Humans have
become so disconnected from
the natural world that we, as
a species, have gone insane.
We have forgotton that we are
not separate from, or the
epitome of,the beauties of the
earth. Rather, we are only
one part of an integrated
whole. And as we destroy and
lose the diversity, as we fuel
the 6th extinction, we
diminish ourselves.
Much of my work is concerned
with the small creatures, the
underpinnings of life, and the
colors and patterns of the
planet, the sheer beauty of
diversity, it's
interconnectedness. Other
pieces reflect the roots of
our psyche and symbol; the
stories of creation and gods
and goddesses, the need to
remember and recapture the
feminine; and dreams and
other forms of spiritual
expression of the duality of
life.
