emerging, 2021

Making marks is on a surface is one of the earliest forms of visual communication.  As children, we smear food on our plates, dab crayon to paper, bleed color with puddles of water. Mark making is both an emotionally instinctive and intuitive physical process. Each mark becomes concrete, physical evidence of intangible, internal energy.

Throughout the pandemic, my body has begged to move. I have walked, hiked, and breathed through the heightened trauma. Connecting with nature, on both a grand and minute scale began to regulate my nervous system and settle my mind.  During a time when my creativity felt paralyzed, this movement filtered into my arms and hands, expressing my most urgent need to also move through visual spaces.  This collection is a dance between external experiences pulling on internal regulation.
