    Starburst Series *  2015 – 2016  *  30″ x 22″  *  Ink on Paper

    The outer edge of the circle was mapped out (in pencil), and then I begin the grid drawing from the outside in. Creating a finite space, that the grid will inevitably collapse into. I began this series to force myself to ‘make mistakes’… to sort of plan for imperfection and adaptation, that hadn’t really been a part of my work until this Series.
    Each individual rectangle drawing is the shape it is, due to the dimensions to the left and above it.

    Running Rabbit. One of my favourites, from way ba Running Rabbit. 
One of my favourites, from way back when I was in Grad School.
Plexiglass, shadows and jiggly chord. This piece always felt magical to me.
Heightened activity is suspended, held within the 'frame' of the dark piece in the background. All nervously twitching under the tension of the elastic chord.  I don't have all the words for this one, but it is for sure one of my favourite little sketches that will always hold a place in my imagination.  Truth be told, it was inspired by a beautiful walk in the hills of Dover in the UK... with hundreds of rabbits darting into thier dens throughout my grassy walk. I came to a thicket, on the ocean's edge, and a rabbit was there. Suspended, as if in mid-jump. It was dead, but looked alive. As though Just as I caught sight of it, time stood still.
One of my favourite, all time travel memories. 
There was just so much in it.

    Butterflies - light play. Shadow completes & makes Butterflies - light play.
Shadow completes & makes the butterfly-fly... 
The light moves, and makes the wings seem to flutter.
I love the magical lightness of these.

Thanks to Akimbo, for the award of the studio space at the Gladstone, several years back. I am still chewing on the ideas that came up! Thank you.

    Butterflies in Beads These are sketches, they did Butterflies in Beads 
These are sketches, they didn't make it too much further. 
But I was really happy to discover them, and plan their colourful wings in ‘pixels’, made of beads. I like that these have a sort of a shimmery, ephermeral quality.

    Butterfly: You This is one of the first things tha Butterfly: You
This is one of the first things that I made in silver, many years ago. It has always been really personal to me.  A butterfly spelling 'you' ... You. 
You are everywhere.  I love that this simple three letter word really means everything to everyone.
🦋  I often say that my jewelry is like a tattoo, that you can pour lots of meaning and personal history into - but a much less painful version. ; )
Here, I went the other way, and got the tattoo. My only one. I think of it as a gift, an acknowledgment of *you*
💖  What holds this sort of importance in your life?
