A celebration of change — the cyclical duality of creation and loss — the compositions create an intangible space where past, present, and future assemblages of our self culminate in a soft expanse of possibility. Creating a sense of place that is both physical and emotional.

Using allegory, reoccurring symbols include the circle, resembling a sun or moon, the self, a path that is forever becoming; the wavy line, an energetic manifestation of emotionality, evoking discovery contained within each moment; the rectangle within a rectangle as the ego or self-narrative that exists within a larger societal narrative.

Drawing further inspiration from New Mexico’s big sky, varied hues, and cloud shapes relate to the activity of transition, both emotional and physical; a stage of vast possibility.

I live and work in Albuquerque, New Mexico. These are occupied Tiwa lands, the closest Pueblos being Sandia, and Isleta. The Tiwa name for the Sandia Pueblo is Tuf Shur Tia. The Tiwa name for the Isleta Pueblo is Shiewhibak.
