From the Artist:
"I am especially interested in the long memory and interconnectedness of the waters of the world and of the body. As part of my practice I collect water from rivers, streams, lakes, oceans, tears, thunderstorms, bayous, puddles, and waterfalls. I leave offerings in the spirit of reciprocity, like a natural object, or a prayer or song, and then use the water I collect to make paintings. This practice inspires my curiosity: What medicine is there in the memory of the river? In the ocean? In the tears or the Sunday morning thunderstorm or the black waters of the bayou? How do we administer this medicine to ourselves and each other and the land that holds us, as an antidote to estrangement? Here in Bulbancha, which translates to “the land where many languages are spoken,” my practice is to continue to deepen my receptivity to more-than-human languages and ways of being. I consider each painting a record of all that we stand to lose as the planet warms and the land vanishes. My experience is that this sense of recognition and kinship leads me toward more meaningful stewardship, responsibility, and collective care of the places that I inhabit and that inhabit me."
