luminosity in loss.

afterimage. invisible threads.

shadow. language.

Themes of regeneration are the bedrock of my practice.

With repurposed garments, gauze and beeswax, or words, sound, paper, linen, ink - I seek to enliven - to bind loss, wonder, and awe.

Bees, beekeepers, and the drone sounds of hives are recurrent themes. I collect possibilities - stories and images of the multitude of restorative phenomena of life on earth — water. first medicine — listen — the drone-hum of bees. Trees, flowers, herbs heal.

Daily if we attune.

I study Irish - the language of my ancestors - gathering fragments and phrases which tell of our longstanding relationship with the land, all of life, each other, death, and the ever-present unseen. 

Through the work my aim is to disentangle from inherited limitations (the overlay of military-industrial-extractive systems) and therein see ourselves clearly in the worlds we desire to make.
