Ink and Alchemy
Petrichor Reflections
Petrichor Reflections is a delicate Alchemy of earth and sky. Petrichor is the fragrant essence that rises when raindrops kiss the thirsty soil. Born from the embrace of parched land and heavens gift of water, it is the ancient breath of the earth-rich, grounding, and fleeting. This aromatic symphony lingers in the air, a whisper of natures renewal as if the ground itself exhaled relief after a long, silent thirst.
Art Awash in Blue
There is tangible, recognizable connective tissue that connects my work. From the vastness of the cosmos to the intricate branching patterns within each of our life-giving cells. I am drawn to the primordial spirals and organic structures and flow of nature.
I am fascinated, in particular, with the liminal state: the stage of in between, where massive dissolution of order occurs; where ambiguity and disorientation are the natural precursors to change. From this chaotic, fertile void, a fluid and malleable state occurs and births new order, no longer who we were, and not yet who we will become, new customs, new order, and new structures are born… each unique, yet universally familiar.
From expansion to contraction; from birth to death; from structure to chaos, this connected universe mimics the neuroplasticity of a giant brain, and the brain mirrors the expanse of the entire cosmos… and beyond. Each moment is unique. Each moment is identical.
I attempt to capture the states and stages of the connected universe. The dynamic energy that surrounds and fills us, our earth, our skies, our oceans, constantly shifting and transforming, too small to understand and too vast to comprehend. Connecting all living things as one.
GRIDS OF DISQUiET
Grids of Disquiet captures the angst we feel as we navigate the thin line between order and disorder. the the calm we seek is hidden between layers of chaos and veils of quiet, as we choose between what we show and what we conceal. This universal struggle is captured in grids of abstract snapshots in the midst of the grit of life.
