By creating we nourish and stabilize our realizations. As many have begun to sense, the currents of time are moving more quickly now. Things, including the people we meet and places we visit, appear and vanish more quickly. This is neither good nor bad but there are matters we want to hold onto, to solidify, to embellish, such as our realizations, our understandings, our insights.

Each of my sculptures has a story to tell. It starts as an intent. Then becomes a perception, that expands into a dialog that I channel into a vortexed poem that I take into nature and find elements, especially manzanita, to shape into a form that sings and perhaps dances and can be materialized.
