That fifth sense which comes with summer, when the air is so hot you cant breath but you are okay with giving up breath for the beating rays of sunshine and vitamin d. The feeling in that moment is what I want to evoke in my work. I want to hit that single breathless moment that cannot be captured in any other way. Surroundings and comfortable objects have such an effect on me, they ground me and bring me back home. Color also takes me back to the rich warmth of my growing up years. My work is at an in-between point right now because I am at an in-between point in life. Still holding onto the past but not quite close enough to the future. My work embodies me and everything I feel and see. As a way of survival I always come back to imagining how surprisingly soft plants can be.
