Artist Statement:
My formal education is as a
biologist, with an emphasis in
evolutionary ecology. One of
my most vivid life experiences
was learning at age 12 that
the atoms within our bodies
have been recycled for eons
from stardust, dinosaurs,
everything, and will continue
to do so for untold time after
we die. I was drawn to
science, especially
evolutionary biology, out of a
deep sense of kinship and
respect for all the life with
which we share our
planet—especially life that is
tiny, slow, slimy, or strange.
A strong connection with my
Jewish heritage also speaks to
my sense of a sacred Earth, or
“admat kodesh,” meaning holy
ground in Hebrew. My artwork
emerges from these experiences
and feelings. ...
