Co-Creating Art with Nature
My art practice is inspired by nature, the juxtaposition of time and space, birth and death, and sacred or fractal geometry patterns observed in natural forms for the structures of growth, energy, decay, chaos, and order.
By creating my handmade colors and inks from minerals, fresh or dried flowers, spices, plants, earth stones, and other pigments —the medium intelligence, an essential aspect of my creative process—they aren't just mediums, those are parts of places and time. Furthermore, they
produce different colors as a response to different weather, soil, and location. Since they are specific to the moment, time, and environment they were created, each is unique and can never be replicated.
They become singular visual aesthetic records of that unique location and time.
The free-flow brushstrokes. can be considered as dance from nature and connecting elements in any organic system (like roots, branches, nervous system, and more). Streaks of gold leaf in my work are a metaphor for purity, light, and sun.
