WHEN THE DAWN IS STILL DARK
UNTITLED
Grief, it will burn the heart out of you. It will leave blackness inside you that threatens to encompass you. Over time the black hole will get smaller and start to fade. Believe it or not there will be a time when the blackness doesn’t seem big enough you will feel guilt for pleasures, joy, laughter.
GAZING TOWARD ETERNITY
I have a hard time sitting still. Once I experience something my brain starts to drift to what’s beyond. This work explores the idea of being firmly rooted while always looking forward to innovate, to create, and to teach. The piece’s “roots” are titanium coated quartz and its layers hand-formed and fire-sculpted acrylic textile. This process takes many hours, keeping at least part of me still.

MOMENTO MORI
Myth of the Shadow Sea
12.5”x12.5”x3” Tectonic 2018 Fire sculpted felt and silk Dezful Museum of Art Permanent Collection IRAN
Myth of the Shadow Sea is a piece hand formed and fire sculpted employing hand dyed silk cocoons and felt. The inspiration for this piece is the idea of adventurers who sail under the shadow of the moon seeking the treasure of a tree laden with Japanese silk worms.
This was my first fire sculpting adventure. It required many more safety tools than I was used to and I was rather uncomfortable. I was heavy influenced by BAP’s Noir album, my favorite piece of music for calming the furthest reaches of my mind and my soul. This is the first creation called Tectonic.

MY OWN VOICE ECHOING BACK AT ME
12.5”x12.5”x3” Tectonic 2018 Fire sculpted felt, howlite SOLD Provence, France
Sand fascinates me. I love the look of it, its texture, the way it feels beneath my feet. I’m in awe of the many intricate sand castles I have watched Greg build as I lie across its expanse under an umbrella. I treasure each piece of beach glass, especially when I find a collected piece next to my coffee cup or laptop.
I often think of my memories like grains of sand, accumulated and blowing around. That was the inspiration for my most recent piece, as I layered and fire sculpted the waves into place. The howlite drilled but left empty with the purpose of what is yet to come. Press It by Taemin playing me through the many hours.
