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 restorative phenomena life on earth inherently offers us — being in or near water calms our system, as does listening to the hum of bees. And forests release chemicals which heal on a cellular level. Infinite remedies are there for our noticing. Daily if we attune.

I study Irish - the language of my ancestors - gathering fragments and words 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.
